From Ashram to Author, Chef & Photographer with Sally Pasley Vargas The Feminine Millionaire Show

    • Entrepreneurship

This week’s episode is with Sally Pasley Vargas, a Chef, Writer & Photographer whose creative career spans 5 decades. 
A multi-talented creative, Sally currently works as a cooking teacher, coach, photographer, recipe developer, and personal chef, and writes a weekly recipe column for The Boston Globe.
Together we reflect back on Sally’s career journey and dive into the wisdom she acquired along the way.
After losing her father as a teenager, then training as a teacher, but with limited career options available to women in the early 1970’s, Sally decided to opt out and join an ashram & build her internal muscles instead.
Sally launched her culinary career as a line cook at Rudi’s Big Indian Restaurant near Woodstock, New York. Her country neighbor at the time, Chef Eugene Bernard, frequently visited the kitchen to advise and mentor the cooks, and eventually arranged for Vargas to intern with pastry chef Albert Kumin at the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, NY.
This move would become the beginning of her culinary career, which eventually led to becoming the author of 4 published cookbooks: Food for Friends, The Tao of Cooking, The Cranberry Cookbook & The Blueberry Cookbook.
