Jen’s story is a journey of rediscovering a love for cooking, sparked by watching chefs on the Food Network. From feeling isolated to entering cooking contests and creating her “101 Sauce” on Lifetime’s "Supermarket Superstar," Jen’s journey is truly inspiring. It’s a reminder that passion can be found in the unlikeliest of places, and it’s never too late to pursue it.She made a crazy, unexpected brain switch while watching the Food Network. She suddenly thought “Shit! I can totally do this cooking thing!” Jen taught herself to cook through cookbooks and the early Internet days, which definitely was NOT what it is today, and became an accomplished contest cook as her hobby.
