Take one part French-Irish and equal part Afro-Cuban heritage, add the eclectic influences of a foster childhood that included constantly changing environments and kitchens–including Italian-American, Haitian, Latin and African cultural and culinary influences, stir in achieved dual certification - "CIA PROCHEF" from The Culinary Institute of America and "Chef de Cuisine" from The American Culinary Federation, fold in a lifelong passion for cooking and food, and blend. It's the recipe for Chef Connie Rousseau, a uniquely creative, spirited, warm and talented personal chef who specializes in in-home dining that goes way beyond the food.
And as an added seasoning: Chef Connie's persona is as inviting as her food. She cooks and serves (and cleans up impeccably!) with personality, warmth, energy and caring.
