At the age of 7 years old Chef Alan was sitting in his grandmother's kitchen watching her make pie dough.To his amazement she was not measuring any of her ingredients. He then asked her "how do you know how much butter and flour to use grandma" She looked him right in the eye with her fingers rubbing together the crumbly dough and said "you just feel it". From that day on the young man knew his destiny. In the years to follow Chef Alan worked in his aunt's large home garden helping to cultivate fresh vegetables and Herbs.
