I grew up in an Italian household of six people. Almost every day there was a different italian dish, and a twist on each. I cook to relieve stress, to entertain, and to continue the great tradition of my families pride & joy.
My favorite things to cook
I try to be extremely versatile in the kitchen... the things I enjoy cooking include but are NOT limited to: Italian, Mexican, any ASIAN cuisine...not limiting the different countries and flavors, Sushi, American, Soul Food, Southern, anything! My 2nd favorite passion is to grill... ribs, and steak are my absolute fav.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every sunday we'd eat in our dining room and experience different types of Italian cuisine. Whether it was a new seafood dish, antipasto, pasta, dessert, we'd all realize where we came from and how much these dishes really show where we're from.
My cooking triumphs
Just having the ability to re-create some of the dishes my mother & grandmother(s) have made....
My cooking tragedies
None, as of yet.
