[edit] Early life
A native of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, Arlene started cooking when she was nine years old. Born into a Pastor's home, she learned very early what it meant to entertain and prepare good tasty meals for very special guests. Her mother taught her well and encouraged her to "try" recipes that seemed difficult. Much patience and love on her mother's part turned Arlene into an accomplished cook, something her father and brothers benefited from greatly.
