| Introduction | My name is Erin Johansen, aka the Queen of Tarts. One of my earliest childhood memories is pulling up a stool to my Yia Yia’s stove (Greek for grandma). Three decades ago my first paying job was in the kitchen of a Greek pastry shop where I washed a lot of giant pots and pans. I have been working for Oregon Fruit for 14 years and my suburban neighborhood serves as test kitchen and my neighbors, the focus group. I love to watch competitive cooking shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef .Although Chef Ramsay is truly evil in the kitchen, I really love to watch Hell’s Kitchen with my two grown up daughters who have always been the light in my life. |
