I love to travel. I think the most important thing you can give your children is the experience and hopefully the understanding of other cultures and traditions. Part of that comes of course through foods. One of our favorite things to do while visiting other regions of the Unitied States and foreign countries, is to learn about their heritage through the foods they eat. Because I am the mother of 4, I do not have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen, however, I enjoy making dishes that taste and appear like I spent all day on them. I like to use fresh ingredients with unique combinations and doing so as quickly as possible. I enjoy cooking traditional Greek dishes taught to me by my mother-in-law. I love baking during the holiday season, searching for that PERFECT recipe that will become a family tradition. - -
