The Wife, The Chef, Her Husband, And...
All In The Family: A Slice of Life

At Along Came Carol, it’s a family affair: Carol became passionate about the art of cooking by watching her mother prepare meals for a family of seven every day. Carol’s Tuscany-born grandmother had a hand in her career choice, as well, by showing her how to bake bread the "Italian" way.

Carol’s skills took her to Hay Day, where she worked as a bread-maker. But earning her bread by baking it at 5:00 a.m. every day took its toll, so Carol enrolled in art school. Until wanderlust hit and the 21-year-old changed course again, this time heading East.

For 18 months, Carol toured England, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. "I picked grapes and worked where I could," says the intrepid chef.

In Europe, Carol’s passion for food was intensified. There, the seeds for her ethnic-style cooking were planted. When she was invited to dinner, she’d spend time with the cooks. "I’d watch and learn from my friends’ mothers."

Can’t go home again? Carol, who grew up in Southport, CT proves that saying wrong: She opened a popular catering/gourmet deli shop in Westport, CT, then moved the business back home in 1997 to its current location: her old stomping ground — Fairfield.

That same year she married Mark Mojcher who joins her behind the counter and helps manage the catering side of the business.
