I began cooking at an early age. I always enjoyed helping my parents,grandmother, and godmother in the kitchen. Cooking is one of my creative passions. I'm happy to share my love of cooking, and family recipes with my daughter. EVERYTHING...I'll try anything once. Southern/Soul cooking is probably most dear to my heart. I grew up in a household in which,both my mom and dad cooked. My mom cooked M-Th(we always went out for dinner on Friday),and my dad took over on the weekend. Family dinner was "our" time together. I'm not quite sure that I've had any cooking triumphs. I better come back to this one:) I just cook...rarely do I follow a recipe,word for word :)Baking of course,would be the only exception. However a great recipe, is always wonderful inspiration.
