Lisa Shamai
owner & president
I started off at home in the mid 80’s, doing everything myself. Now, with more than 30 full-time and 20 part-time employees, I don’t cook so much – except of course for my son and inspiration, Ethan, and my dear husband. With a larger business come different rewards… like receiving the Riverdale Business Community’s Woman Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2001. Our secret to success is maintaining the homemade spirit and integrity in everything we create. Well it was a secret…
