I'm Italian & Finnish, & I love to experiment with the cultural foods of my family. I started cooking when I was 12 & fell in love with it. I'm one of those women who always has a glass of wine while she cooks. I absolutely love my skillet; I use it for every meal I make & wouldn't know what to do with myself if it broke.
My favorite things to cook
Pasta, seafood, vegetables. Also love cooking with wine. Favorite dishes are low calorie & nutritious.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My maternal grandmother is Finnish, & I love homemade nissu. I also love Christmas at my paternal grandfather's house, where the whole Italian side of my family gets together for the feast of the seven fishes.
My cooking triumphs
When my boyfriend tells everyone how awesome my cooking is.
