Having been a DNA-Entrepreneur for over 34 years now, I've learned the NEVER GIVE UP spirit. I'm a risk taker and thrill seeker! I love venturing into territory that's new for me! I've owned multiple brick and mortar businesses from a coffee bar, jazz club, retail pet stores with grooming and a doggy day care facility with overnight boarding! My history with cooking started in 1989 in my kitchen. I created a business called "Complete Cookery"! Indeed, I cooked and delivered meals to office buildings! Now that's GANGSTA! I even created a restaurant called "Nola's - A Taste of New Orleans" as well as a coffee bar for two different clients. Yes, I love a challenge! Needless to say I am a tireless entrepreneur, people person, dog lover, and a lover of cooking and eating good food! In 2013 I reinvented myself and discovered my love of Life Coaching. I settled myself down and wrote a book about my journey to self- discovery and the evolution of becoming Cabrini! Hold onto your pearls - the title of my book is "F.U.C.K. T.H.A.T.T. What Do You Want? - An Entrepreneur's Journey to Self-Discovery!" I'm still growing and evolving daily! The making of the Gangsta Chef started in 2018 on a whim. I started videoing myself while I was cooking a hearty New Year's Eve dinner for my friends. And because I was having so much fun experimenting, cooking, laughing, and entertaining -everytime I completed a dish I would say "that's Gangsta"! I was playing by my own rules, feeling free, and taking care of my friends!! They were enjoying the good eats! My quest is to share my triumphs and failed-successes over a good plate of food prepared by the people who are afraid to venture in the kitchen and you may need a nudge at living life out loud in your everyday LIFE! Don't be afraid of making a mess in the kitchen! Much like life, we can clean it up and start over!! The kitchen is a great place to be daring! Let's have fun, don't be too serious but bold enough to make a mistake and try it again and again and again. We 'bout to get Gangsta in the kitchen! Yep, it's time to take control of your domain and cook your heart out!! Your essential spices will be love, fun, laughter, courage, adventure, and a lot of zest! Most importantly you will learn how to become GANGSTA in your own kitchen! ~ Cabrini
