About Mark Jala

I have found there is power in food and the cooking of it. As a self avowed "foodie" I enjoy food and the great feeling in brings when I make a special dish. I am the founder of several culinary related websites where I try to put forward the idea that food and cooking can be fun and adventurous. I am excited about my latest project, the "Home Cooking Academy", which opened to the public on December 15, 2011. The academy offers online cooking classes that teaches busy people how to consistently make delicious, attractive, and aromatic meals. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, or desserts, the academy offers a unique insight into cooking and food enjoyment.
