Susan Irby The Bikini Chef

Born in Marietta, Georgia, Chef Susan Irby may as well be from Alabama as that is where her fondest memories are from. "My family had an amazing lake cabin in Alabama. It was small and simple, yet we had the best times there. It was there we ended our day of water skiing and playing on the lake by cooking in our bikinis and having dinner. We skied until sunset and were starving. We had no choice! That's really where "Bikini Cooking" and The Bikini Chef truly began."

Susan's chef inspiration came from her mother cooking both at home in Georgia and at the lake. "My mom was a great cook. She taught me not only the basics of cooking but that a healthy plate is a colorful plate. Each night for dinner we would have green, yellow or orange vegetables, white starches and rich proteins like beef, chicken, or pork."
