“Anise The Supreme”
Treasurer/ Director
My name is Michelle Brown, I'm 54 years old and I live in Washington, DC. I'm a QIDP Manager by trade but home cooking is my love language.
Growing up I've always watched my parents and grandparents cook si I was no stranger to the kitchen. What propelled me to cook with love was when I became a single mother of three. During those times I was always faced with difficult life choices. Such as paying the electric bill or taking my kids out to McDonald's because everyone else had "McDonald's Money". I knew I didn't have it but I did have food stamps which was a means to always have groceries. So I decided to turn my misfortune into a teachable moment for me and my children! I decided to make everything they loved to eat at home where it tasted better and they had seconds available if they wanted! To teach them to cook we would have Iron Chef Ramen Noodle Cook Off's! This taught them to have the ability to make a great tasting and filling meal using what you already have at home(Survival).💖
