Chef Todd Mohr - ArticlesBefore I became Chef Todd Mohr, I was Todd Mohr - a guy who liked to cook. A lot of people, including me, even thought I was a pretty good cook. For starters, I had my five meals, well, recipes, I suppose, that I could make well. Being a creative person, I also used some of the techniques from my tried and true "recipes" to experiment a bit with new dishes. Some were good and some not so good, and I usually never knew what the difference was.
Through a series of events, I decided to change careers in 1996 and pursue my passion for cooking, so I enrolled in Baltimore International Culinary College. 18 months later, I emerged: Chef Todd Mohr. The greatest thing I learned in culinary school was the "how" and the "why" that had been missing from my cooking all those years. My recipes only gave me the "what" - which left so much out! The greatest thing I gained in the years after culinary school, was the practical experience from working in kitchens and experimenting at home. Being observant, I learned even more "hows" and "whys" in addition to "whats" along my culinary journey. This experience and experimentation, more than anything else, is what turned Todd Mohr into Chef Todd Mohr .The specific details of the last 10 years are not that important, but my experience includes kitchen experience - all the way up to Executive Chef, as well as college teaching experience, starting and operating a successful catering company and then finally, the culmination of all of my passion: opening The Cooking School in Cary NC in 2007. It was at The Cooking School that I developed and honed the cooking program that has now taught hundreds of people to cook - something that had eluded them until they attended my classes. From The Cooking School, came "Cooking Coarse", my daily video blog that quickly gained a loyal You Tube following due to the uniqueness of the instruction offered. It was through feedback received from "Cooking Coarse" viewers that I decided to launch this website and provide this information to the world.
