“Cooking Is My Passion
and It Drives My Creativity”
As an aspiring Executive Chef … I LOVE A CHALLENGE!
“I Love Preparing Extraordinary Cuisines”.
My passion for cooking started when I was 5 years old. I was inspired by the culinary talents and passion of executive chef Emeril Lagasse. I loved watching his TV show – he captivated me his “BAM” routine for adding spices. I was also inspired by the cooking skills of my father, mother, grandfather and grandmothers. I especially loved accompanying my dad as a volunteer to an annual event called “Men In The Kitchen”. As a junior chef, I contributed my desserts. As I got older I contributed my specialty dishes.
Now I can prepare everything from hors d’oeuvres and desserts to complete dinners.
I will be pursing a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts. I am enrolled in the Culinary Arts track at my High School and I am a member of my High School Culinary Team. We were awarded 3rd place at the Annual Maryland Prostart Culinary Invitational – 02-2010. As a result, I have already received several scholarship offers from some of the top Culinary Schools in the country … including Johnson and Wales, Culinary Institute of America.
I look forward to sharing my unique and innovative menus with you and your guests.
Thanks For Your Support …
Aaron LeRoi Hodge
Award Winning … Apprentice Chef

Wow! I had no idea. Would love to have you cater some of the parties that I play and to come cook for us !!
You Rock Dude !!!

It was my best Thanksgiving, ever! I can’t stop sharing my joy and excitement with my friends about your magnificent preparation and presentation of dinner for us.
You were great!
Love, Pop-Pop
Aaron,
I saw you with Sabrina in Costco, just before Thanksgiving. Now I see that you really delivered on your Thanksgiving meal! I wasn’t there to sample it, but by the looks of your website, I’ll have to in the future.
Your incredible pumpkin-ginger trifle was the talk of the Christmas Party! Every bite was pure joy! Your superb culinary skills will be in high demand by all, thank you for sharing with our office.
Aaron, I had no idea that you are an aspiring chef! I didn’t think it was possible for me to be even more impressed with you, but I am. Next year let’s discuss some school(college) choices that cater to your passion. (You do know I’m a high school guidance counselor!)Love You
We hired Aaron to cater our Super Bowl party this past Sunday and were not disappointed. Every single dish he provided was a huge hit. Our guests raved about how good the food was as they were getting their second (and in some cases third) helpings. We will definitely be using Aaron again (very soon) and highly recommend his services.
Hi Aaron,
I am still to sample your cooking ,we can exchange ideas,when we met. Sorry I missed you in New York in December.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards
Uncle Edward ( England Uk)
Aaron,
what can I say? Wow!! Very impressive!
I know your parents are extremely proud of you. I am Dominique’s mother and as you probably know, she is also interested in the culinary arts and in fact, has catered a couple of events in the past year, not to mention preparing Thanksgiving dinner and the like. I know she is going to “kill me”, as she has know idea I am on your site however, it is not often that you come across talented, progressive, young persons like yourselves and I can not resist the temptation.
I would absolutely love to see you two collaborate on a few endeavors and thought to take the opportunity to suggest this. I wish you all the best and know that you can count on my support.
Aaron,
I would really like you to relate your experiences to our business class. You are very talented !!!!
Keep it up,
Mrs Gaylor
Hey Aaron,
I wanted to see if you would be available for the next book club I host in January.
I am looking at doing a Thursday.
Aaron,
The meal you prepared for me to serve my Book Club was excellent! From the delicious appetizers to the dreamy desserts. You did a wonderful job and I can not thank you enough!! All of the guest commented on how wonderful everything tasted. I wish you all the luck and hope to use you again.
I was proud of you when you and your team from Glenelg High School won Third Place in the Statewide Competition February 27, 2010. i know you are a great cook(Apprentice Chef) and I know you are going to be a Great Chef in the future. Can’t stop talking and bragging about you! Love you, Pop-Pop
Aaron,
Thank you so much for the chocolate triffle. It was absolutely FABULOUS!!! You exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds with not only your talent but your professionalism. You are truly a pleasure to work with and I look forward to enjoying more of your signature dishes.
Thanks again!
Aaron,
Thanks for catering our daughter’s Sweet 16 Tea Party and Holiday Open House. At the tea party the scones – cheddar, chocolate chip and peppermint — were delicious and the girls raved over the chocolate trifle. Our Open House guests loved the Beef Brisket,the pinwheel sandwiches and gingerbread trifle. You were a charm to work with and such a professional. Thanks again!
