I'm a wife, mom, and engineer. I love cooking for my family and dinner guests in small groups. I enjoy challenging meals to prepare. I love doing the whole 5 course meal. appetizers, dinners, sidedishes and desserts. The more challenging the better! no traditions, I'm up for anything! To many to name. Making Chicken marsala for 30 person family gathering.. was totally unedible because I used extra dry marsala wine. We had to order pizza :).
