I live in Ventura with my wonderful husband and love to cook for my freinds and family...my sisters are my biggest fans and my biggest challenge is making something my husband likes My favorite things to cook are savory appetizers and main dishes. I love complicated dishes and spending all day in the kitchen. My parents are both excellent, experimental cooks. Lumpia's are a family favorite and my favorite guilty pleausre(they are fried) I make a great Thankgiving dinner! (the stuffing is a recipe I stole from my sister, Jasmine) Too many to list. My latest was a recipe I put together that involved wine poached pears, homemade sausage and braised cabbage all stuffed inside some homemade bread- it was awful!
