Susanne
Susanne Wiesen's love of cooking started when she was 10 and her mom landed in the hospital, leaving nobody to prepare dinner at home. The former Director of Finance at The Chopping Block has never looked back and enjoys experimenting in the kitchen for family and friends. She can usually be found with some knitting project in her lap and also enjoys reading, swimming, mountain biking and spending time in the great outdoors.
