    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Helene Pecora-Montalto: born & raised in Brooklyn, New York.

    Where it all began: baking & decorating many, many cookies with Grandma, Grandma teaching her how to make ravioli & hand chopped pesto with a mezzaluna at approximately age 4

    Where it all went: starting in high school she interned at The Blue Hen restaurant in NYC for 5 months baking & cooking for free & loving every minute of it!

    Helene swiftly enrolled in NYIT‘s 2 year Culinary program where she received an AOS in Culinary Arts & had a fantastic time!

    Out of school……she spent some time doing pastry work at a few NYC restaurants: DOLCE, THE RUSSIAN TEA ROOM & i Trulli.

    Later on……she found herself bobbing in & out of pastry jobs not yet finding the right fit. Helene sought yet more food knowledge. She grew up with parents always & still setting the example of healthy eating, vitamins, veggies & so on….

    And so….in 1994 she studied HEALTHY COOKING & NATURAL PASTRY PRODUCTION at The Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Health in NYC.

    This year also lead her to Peter Kumps culinary school for 2 exciting weeks of a hands on CHOCOLATE WORKSHOP & an ITALIAN pastry, cake & cookie production class.

    Then……Helene missed the SAVORY very much & needed a break from the scientific & precise world of PASTRY…..so she went venturing around the FREE-LANCE CATERING circuit where she got her hands back to nature: chopping , peeling, sautéing, grilling, mixing, creating, testing & tasting ……..but most of all learning the nature of NYC catering & its upscale food needs…..It is not all pretty but it’s pretty cool to learn!

    Her most favorite catering companies she was/is employed by are: DM CUISINE & BACCHANAL.

    The now….32, married 8 years & enjoying travel, food, knowing God, close friends & family, her husband, her parents, her unconditional loving cats & the always burning desire to CREATE……..! THUS with about a year of on & off experiments which began in June of 2003, were born NUT CREAMS……..YES, they are & will be a continuous work in progress but for now she wishes to share them with the world….

    Please……Enjoy, Embellish & continue to Create with these wonderful NON-DAIRY ……delights!
