I'm a retail manager living in my hometown, Spring, TX. My husband and I recently downsized from house to apartment, so I've been faced with the challenges of cooking in a smaller kitchen. I recently left a position with Zwilling JA Henckels where I learned some crazy knife skills! Sigh - there's so many. I love challenges, so I've just taught myself how to make a killer risotto. I'm probably God's gift to man because I pan sear the PERFECT steak. The 3 things I couldn't live without are all made by my Granny - her chicken soup, her BBQ ribs, and her homemade BBQ sauce! Her soup really is a cure-all! I pride myself in mastering the toughest basics - a perfect steak, creamy risotto, crepes and souffles. The rest is just fluff. I've had quite a few disposer meals, mainly when I was younger. But since outfitting my kitchen with the correct cookware and knives, and throwing out the gadgets, I rarely have a bad meal.
