I love to cook in an almost indecent passionate type way but I will hardly ever eat what I cook. I cook for others not myself. I love food and will do nothing for hours on end but read and create recipes. I'm currently writing down the family recipes that have so far eluded all types of documentation, challenging but worth it. Food and tradition go hand in hand in my family. I love to cook asian and southern food the most but my husband is Italian so I learned to make my own pasta's and sauces so that our son could experience the different foods my husband and I both grew up eating. I also love traditional mexican food, yummy!! EVERYTHING! I grew up in the kitchen and have absorbed everything my mom and lola and numerous aunts and uncles have taught me. I recently taught myself to bake and have found out (not to be conceited) that I'm pretty damn good. Hah I've always thought that I would be a terrible baker because of all the horror stories associated with baking, but pshaw to that. French cuisine! I've never gotten the hang of it. I wish that I could find a teacher patient enough to walk me through french cooking.
