Baking and Pastry FUNdamentals

My name is Chef Kerry and I am a Certified Executive Pastry Chef along with an Approved Certification Evaluator through the American Culinary Federation. Most importantly, I am a Chef Instructor in Central New Mexico Community College's Culinary Arts Program, teaching Baking and Pastry for the past 20 years. The time has gone by so fast in those twenty years that I can hardly believe that in the end I have taught over 1500 students classical baking and pastry techniques.  

I consider myself lucky to landed at CNM. It has been life changing and taught me compassion, empathy and concern for everyone who enters my life. I was so fortunate to have become a Culinary Arts Instructor teaching Beginning, Intermediate & Advanced Baking and Pastry skills and helped develop and build the Baking Program into an ACF accredited Baking and Pastry program. It has not been just a job to me but a passion - I have loved every minute of my time at CNM.
