COMPETITOR
Jeanette Nelson
COMPETITION: World Recipe Championship
QUALIFYING EVENT: DOLE California Cook-Off
My culinary interest started when me and my family struggled financially. Until that time I had spent very little time in the kitchen. Now it's my favorite place to be, preparing meals for a family of five. I'm a mother of three beautiful girls, and a proud wife of a physician assistant who loves to try new creative dishes. I never turn down a cooking challenge, so the WorldFood Championships presented me an opportunity that I will gladly accept. One of my greatest wins was being the grand prize winner of Dole's California Cook-off. Thanks to Dole, I have the opportunity to represent them in the WorldFood Championships!
