Got into cooking when I became a vegetarian at age 16 after a bad experience with pork.I was pretty much on a macrobiotic diet when I was in chiropractic school and in retrospect,it was too radical for me.I started to eat fish again when I was pregnant with my first son,I still eat fish.I love exploring ethnic cuisine because when I was a strict vegetarian it allowed me to have some diversity in my menus.I know what you can do with tofu!I love to try other people's recipes and like the reviews because I am a recipe "tweaker"too. Fish,anything Italian,eggplant especially.vegetarian recipes. WE all cook in our house and we have family meetings on Sunday to plan the meal later on.We make personal pizzas about once a month.Everyone gets a turn to have their favorite meal. I finally nailed garlic shrimp after twenty years and an fantastic scallop dish that I love at a local eatery. Have lost every battle with Irish Soda Bread.A family tradition is each year we try a new recipe for it and each year it becomes the yearly Irish hockey puck.
