Erren’s Childhood In The Kitchen

‘On Sunday mornings growing up in New Jersey, sleeping in wasn’t an option. My sister and I were usually dragged out of bed to help with Sunday supper. My mother and my first-generation Italian-American grandmother would be in the kitchen and we were expected to help—and by help, I mean chop garlic, roll meatballs, and keep quiet unless spoken to. Sunday mornings were spent aprons on, hands deep in bowls of ground meat, stale bread soaked in milk, and freshly chopped parsley.

It wasn’t glamorous, but it was magical. The kind of food that simmered all day and brought our whole family to the table, every single Sunday. Those were the meals that shaped me—not just as a cook, but as someone who believes deeply in the power of food to bring people together. Although I didn’t know it at the time, if I had to name the moment I fell in love with cooking, it was right there: in my Mother’s kitchen, hands covered in meatball mix, garlic on my fingertips, surrounded by the comfort of tradition.’

Education

Erren’s culinary journey began early—she spent all four years of high school enrolled in a culinary arts program, gaining hands-on experience through internships in professional kitchens and bakeries. After graduation, she entered a Culinary Arts Certificate program and went on to complete additional culinary training programs in both the United States and the United Kingdom, sharpening her skills and gaining a global culinary perspective.
