Chef Ty grew up in Chicago, Illinois, watching her mother make amazing meals with very few ingredients. She was Ty's biggest inspiration and supporter.  Her mother was in a rehabilitation center/nursing home for two years until she passed away in and the meals they served were less than desirable. Ty started preparing and taking meals to her mother - all of her favorites, to encourage her to keep up her strength.  During this time, Ty decided that she wanted to work in a senior community and try to make a difference in seniors' lives by preparing extraordinary cuisine. Ty loves cooking and it shows - she states that this is not a job to her; it is her true PASSION!
