Biography
"Cooking is a chore unless you love the process", which is the motto of
Tyler Sweet, an extremely talented chef who has made her name in the
catering industry with the help of her deep understanding of a variety of
ingredients and human taste buds. She had always loved whipping up
new recipes as a pass time activity but her career began when she got her
first job at a local restaurant and realized that she would not mind doing
it forever.
Tyler's hobby blossomed into a passion that drove her up the ladder so
quickly that by the end of the year, she was already a sous chef and a
rising talent. An impeccable eye for unique mixtures and a willingness to
learn new dishes, she has since then worked for over 10 five-star
restaurants in the tri-state. Presently, Sweet owns a thriving online
cooking class where she has found a great, interactive avenue to teach on
her most favorite subject, food.
