NEW YORK (AP) — Al Roker remembers the moment when it became clear to him that his oldest daughter was an honest-to-goodness chef.
“We were talking, and she was in the kitchen, and she’s looking at me, but she’s chiffonading these herbs and not looking down," he recalled recently.
"Within the first three minutes, there’d be at least one geyser of blood if I was doing that. I’m thinking, 'Oh my God, she knows what she’s doing.'”
Courtney Roker Laga indeed knows what's she's doing: She's a recipe developer and culinary school graduate who has worked in two Michelin-starred restaurants, including Café Boulud in New York City.
