I'm a mom, wife, part-time high school English teacher, part-time writer and I love to cook. Lately, I've really enjoyed playing around with ideas from Zoe Francois and Jeff Hertzberg from their Artisan Breads in Five Minutes a Day series. I also like to cook seasonally and to find ways to make recipes healthier. They vary. We've had five exchange students, so I like making their favorites when they return to visit. We make a chocolate cake that all the kids love. I enjoy doing Christmas cookies and incorporating the international traditions I've learned over the years. Mastering muffins. ;-) They are so versatile and can be complete meals if made well. I've also finally learned how to bake good breads. Um... probably anything the first five years I was learning to cook. ;-)
