Being a finalist on Top Chef season 4: Chicago plus her experience as an executive chef in NYC has helped Chef Lisa carve out a name for herself in the culinary world.  She thanks her mother for first introducing her to cooking.  Lisa inherited the skill of picking out every ingredient in any sauce or dressing from her.

Showcasing talents and experience like Chef Fernandes' are difficult to do on a standard resume. Athough she isn't a job seeker, her professional portfolio on Harri allows family, friends and colleagues to easily view her food creations, work history and personality. The images of her dishes are mouthwatering.
