About
I don't take myself too seriously, because I believe having a sense of humor is key to making any endeavor fun. Cooking shouldn't feel like a chore! I am never as at ease anywhere, as when I'm in a kitchen, whipping something up! That passion for food, and preparing food is contagious, to anyone who has an appreciation for good food and a desire to share that with people they care about.
I have loved cooking since my mother forced all of us kids to fend for ourselves, lol. People who love food have a special bond, and there's nothing more fun than breaking bread, and bonding with folks who love it as much as I do!
