Married with 2 kids (boys), both of whom enjoy helping in the kitchen. Darling wife gives me full run of the kitchen, and is a very patient taste-tester :) Steak!! I love a rare filet with a beautiful caramelized crust, fork-cutting tender with a basalmic reduction, accompanied by mashed potato (skins on for color and flavor) with a touch of garlic My roots are Sicilian (mother was 1st gen to be born in America), I'm expolring traditional Italian cooking Finally mastered my creme brulee recipe good lord....too many to mention.
