About this Cook
Together, my wife and I have just recently started a catering co. We focus on in home cooking for parties and events. We specialize in theme dinners. She is the hostess at the events and I am the behind the scenes menu planner. The theme parties include the invitations thru the kitchen clean up. We cook and serve, the hostess enjoys her guests.
My favorite things to cook
Mexican dinners from blackened quesadillas, and cerviche for appetizers, caesar salad, fajita rancheros with chile rubbed corn and frijole negro boraccho beans. I also make a very good tortilla soup and our strawberry banana preperado for dessert cannot be beat.
My favorite family cooking traditions
The pride of my kitchen and any catering we do is when we set the time for dinner, everything hits the table at the same time, hot and fresh. The minutes before are called 'critical time' and get to be very intense.
My cooking triumphs
Voted fan favorite for my black bean chili. Never scared of any recipe or new ideas.
My cooking tragedies
I try to learn from these and then forget them.

Lori's Famous Crab Cakes
My biggest concern was how hot the oil should be. 4 minutes on each side was too long at high heat. However at medium heat the 4 minutes on each side yielded perfectly brown cakes. Good recipe.
