Meet the Chef
Sharon Shiner, sole proprietor of Thyme To Cook has always loved to cook. As a young girl she would create new and interesting dishes for her family and friends to eat. Her mother, Susie, always knew Sharon would go into the culinary world, when at age 4, Sharon's favorite food was lobster! Sharon carried the passion for cooking delicious food with her throughout college and graduate school, and into the corporate world. Sharon earned her Masters of Science in Biology from New York University.
On a brief hiatus from the pharmaceutical world, Sharon attended the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, but chose not to cook professionally and returned to working in Biotech and Pharmaceutics. After 15 years of the daily grind, Sharon decided to follow her passion for food and left corporate America to form Thyme To Cook. Sharon joined the United States Personal Chef Association as a premier member and in conjunction with the Culinary Business Academy, earned her Personal Chef Diploma.
Fitness and health are extremely important to Sharon; she is a certified Mad Dogg Athletic Spinning Instructor and has been teaching Spinning since 1996. In January of 2008, Sharon was certified as a Personal Fitness Chef by the National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association (NESTA); in April, 2008, Sharon was certified as a Fitness Nutrition Coach and Children's Nutrition Specialist, also by NESTA. She cooks, coaches, and gives talks on healthy eating and snacking to both adult and child audiences.
Sharon lives with her husband Rob and children, Max and Louise in the Boston area.
