She began teaching moms to cook 19 years ago, in her home kitchen. This venture developed into The Culinary School of Fort Worth, which offers an after-work culinary program where people can earn a chef certificate while keeping their regular jobs. The school also offers recreational cooking classes and a children’s culinary program. In 2003, Judie created Super Suppers to meet the demanding needs of busy parents who want to create quality family time around the dinner table - but don’t have the extra time and energy to cook meals from scratch. These moms tell her constantly their families ask the daily question, “Mom, what’s for dinner?” Now there is a healthful, delicious, easy and fun answer! At Super Suppers, Judie’s team has done all the shopping and chopping, slicing and dicing. All sauces are made and ingredients are organized. Tasty hors d’oeuvres are set out and great music can be heard around the room. Guests attend this 1 ½-hour, meal-assembly party where they construct 12 generous entrees and then take them home to freeze until it’s time to defrost, cook, and serve a fabulous home-cooked, made-from-scratch dinner. Judie and her team write, test and implement the monthly recipes for Super Suppers franchisees across the United States. A member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, Judie has shared her recipes and cooking ideas in various magazines including Family Circle, Reader’s Digest, Women’s Day and Shine. She is a frequent guest on local and national TV and radio. She is food editor of Fort Worth Magazine and spokesperson for Honeysuckle White Turkey. Judie has studied cooking at the CIA in Hyde Park, NY, Le Cordon Bleu School of Cookery in London as well as in the Orient, France, Belgium and Italy. She studied entertaining and catering at the home and studios of Martha Stewart in Westport, CT. A cookbook author, Judie’s cookbooks are Help! My Family’s Hungry and Meals in Minutes. Judie lives in Fort Worth, Texas, with Bill, her husband of 40 years. They have three grown children and five grandchildren.
