A love of travel and especially Italian and French Cuisines, took Vicki and her husband David Boyle to a nearly 5 year elective residence in Italy. Continuing education there consisted of working with pasta makers in Bologna, Italy and many local trattorias in Puglia, a southern region. Travel to France and England also provided opportunities to perfect many different regional dishes. On a recent trip to London and Paris, Vicki spent many hours in all the fresh markets and took a Chocolate Workshop with Paul Young, Chef and Author of The Joy of Chocolate. Vicki has used her culinary skills and donated her time to Rockport local non profits, such as Camp Aranzazu, The Rockport Education Foundation Annual Fundraiser Dinner, Boys and Girls Club Fundraiser and more. Vicki loves teaching cooking classes and is actively involved in the Culinary Arts for Kids Program at the Rockport Center for the Arts, teaching classes in the after school program that is generously funded by donations. The kids are able to attend no cost cooking classes and hopefully learn life skills or potential career choices.
