Marilyn Montemayor started cooking to help a friend cater a party 45 years ago. Soon after, she began fielding requests from others to cook in their homes and was both surprised and pleased to realize she was good at it. She continued to cook in people’s homes intensively until retiring at 65. Today, she teaches cooking classes as a volunteer for Uptown Social, Mead Public Library and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
