Meet the instructor

Bekah Angoff

Bekah Angoff is the Director of Procurement at Wulf's Fish in Boston, a national powerhouse for high-end seafood with the traditions of old-school roots, where she also leads training programs for culinary professionals.

Bekah's unique passion and expertise in flavor development led her to create the Oyster Tasting Wheel for Pangea Shellfish and the Caviar Flavor Wheel for Wulf's Fish. She grew up in a food-obsessed household in New Hampshire, where she was an internationally ranked mogul skier and avid home cook. While training in Colorado, she was working in an Italian restaurant at night where she weaseled her way into the kitchen as the dining room was far less exhilarating.

After retiring from skiing in 2005, it was a natural move to attend New England Culinary Institute where she studied along with some of the country's best young cooks. School led to a ten-year career in kitchens, cooking everything under the sun in the heart of Boston, MA. As the late nights and long days wore on, it was time for a new challenge: business school. Bekah attended Simmons University while also working for her fishmonger at the time. Needless to say, she was hooked and continued to work in seafood for the last 13 years with a heavy focus on shellfish and caviar.
