I'm a graphic/web designer by day and cook by night. I've always loved cooking and learned to bake at a very young age. I also have an obsession with tea. I love trying new recipes out, but some of my favorite standbys are shepherd's pie, and stir fries or pastas with lots of veggies. Oh and baking. Tea, tea and more tea, baked goods by the pile, and homemade/homegrown everything. (Scottish/Irish background) I'm currently working on a handwritten and illustrated heirloom cookbook. Learning how to completely omit milk products from my diet through creative substitutions/econo-cooking through college. 3rd degree burns from draining spaghetti into a clogged sink (didn't realize it was plugged!) I couldn't drain ANYTHING for a year!
