Introduction to Chef Dee

I am Chef Dee Quinnett and let me introduce you to my oldest grandchild Lucas.  He was working like a trooper in the restaurant kitchen!


After working as a Paramedic in Southwestern North Dakota it was time for a change!  I did the scariest thing I have ever done.  I went to Chef School!  I attended The International School of Culinary at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.  I graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor Degree in Culinary Management with a minor in Culinary Arts.  I did my internship at Medora and fulfilled my Senior Project by spending a month in Armenia.  I spent 2 years working in a Scandinavian restaurant in Karlstad Minnesota.  I am currently teaching Culinary and Restaurant management for North West Area Schools located in South Dakota. I work in a mobile classroom that moves every semester to serve another school in the eight school system.  My classroom is set up like a restaurant kitchen and could be licensed to serve food to the public.


I am honored to be coming up with recipes for Nourished by Nature!
