Chowders and Shake-Ups for the Week

My name is Courtenay Hachey of

CHOWDERS & Shake-Ups FOR THE WEEK,

and I am a shameless lover of anything

food. I not only find excitement when

experiencing various cuisines, but I also

have a passion for creating and writing

recipes, and what I call ＂Cooking Concepts＂.

As for my life journey & how I fell in love with food, it goes back to my younger years. My parents raised me and my brothers through their Pierogi business in Pennsylvania. I guess that has always steered me towards food. This is why, straight out of college, my career began at a restaurant marketing firm.

I then spent many tremendous years in the financial industry of New York City. After some changes happened in my life, I turned to where I am most comfortable and focused solely on cooking and recipe writing.

You see, A passion for Chowders began when I found myself

making one every Sunday. But that’s just the beginning. With that,

a ＂Cooking Concept＂ arrived. Stick with me - The best is yet to come...
