I've been cooking for close to 9 years now. As a child I helped my Mom out in the kitchen quite often since I was 5 years of age. I love getting compliments on my cooking. My husband tells me I'm a great chef which makes me feel even better. It's great knowing you're appreciated for all the hard work you do in the kitchen. Not to mention running a business from home, care for my baby boy and still find time to cook delicious meals. I guess I like to keep busy. :) Anything gourmet. I've perfected all the simple meals we eat through the week, so when the weekends come around, I like to go all out. The first 2 years of cooking on my own was quite a challenge. I never measured my ingredients. Everything was by memory and improving with trial and error. Thank goodness I can now say I'm a pretty good cook.
