Meet Chef Leslie

Over the years, my “kitchen education” grew through chefs, friends, classes, and more than a hundred cookbooks annotated with notes, stains, and memories in the margins.

I’ve cooked for vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free guests, and shellfish-allergic friends—all at the same table—because to me, hospitality means everyone feels welcome.

I’ve hosted dinners for two and gatherings for thirty-five, but the goal is always the same: shoes kicked off, laughter filling the room, stories flowing, and a night that feels special—even on a Tuesday.

Cooking, to me, is part science, part art… and always love and fun.

Today, I spend my time sharing that passion through Forking Delicious™—my cooking school—and my cookbook of the same name, where the recipes and stories that shaped my life finally come together.

I’m here to share what I’ve learned: great food doesn’t have to be complicated, hosting doesn’t need to be stressful, and your kitchen can become the happiest room in your home.

Come cook with me.

Testimonials

  • I have truly enjoyed getting to know Leslie through the Friendship Circle Life Skills program, where I volunteer each week. From the moment she walks into the center, she brings energy, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm that immediately sets the tone for an engaging and inspiring class.

    Leslie leads our adults with special needs in dynamic lessons on cooking and nutrition, arriving each week exceptionally prepared and ready to create a hands-on experience. Her talents as both a skilled chef and a gifted educator shine through in the way she connects with the students.

    What truly sets Leslie apart is her ability to turn each session into a meaningful experience. Students don’t just learn recipes — they build confidence, develop life skills, and take pride in creating something from start to finish. —

  • This cookbook is a winner! The book itself is substantial with easy to read content and colorful, appetizing photography of each dish. There are many wonderful elements woven together in this unique cookbook. A friendly introduction lets the reader get to know Chef Leslie followed by a fantastic set of recipes. Each dish starts with a fun fact about a particular ingredient or culinary history of the recipe. The cooking instructions are clear and easy to follow. It's like Chef Leslie is coaching you through each step. The "forking fast facts" are a useful tool to understand the time and labor commitment of each dish. Also, the "forking challenge" information lets the reader know in advance how complex a particular recipe might be for the at home cook. This cookbook doesn't take itself too seriously and celebrates the power of good food to connect us to each other. Loved it!

  • My Experience During the Forking Delicious Cooking Class

    I had an amazing time during this class. I got to cook wonderful food with the help of Chef Leslie. And not only did we cook, we also learned about geography and Thailand. It was lots of fun, and the food was incredible.

    I also got a tour of Chef Leslie’s herb garden. She had lots of amazing-smelling herbs of many different varieties, and her husband had also made an orchard in the backyard. From sweet mangoes to papayas and many other trees too.

    Overall, the experience was very lovely, rewarding, and fun. I would definitely recommend going to Chef Leslie’s cooking class.
