Circelli-Russell encourages the students<br />
to try new and exciting mashups with food<br />
and drink. In her eyes, everything can be<br />
paired with everything, and there are no<br />
rules about food and cooking. Outside the<br />
restaurant, you’ll find her baking up a storm<br />
and producing some fantastic cakes and<br />
sweet creations, as well as teaching her three<br />
children about the world of food and the local<br />
culinary community. “Start them young, and<br />
with any luck, they too will develop a lifelong<br />
love of the kitchen,” says Circelli-Russell.<br />
