I am 24, and have cooked before I could even reach the back burners on the stove. I enjoy cooking tremendously (who here doesn't?). I live at home with my boyfriend of six years. He has never learned to cook and would starve to death on mac and cheese without me. He eats kosher, so my cooking has changed drastically over the last few years. We are both fans of eating vegetarian, and since I only eat seasonal, US grown food, we are always looking for new recipies to use what we have available. I love making vegetarian recipies and love mediterranean food. Some of my favorites are a divine Caponatta, my pomegranate and walnut duck breast, and my homemade strawberry rhubarb pie. My family was southern, so I grew up on southern food. I rarely eat it anymore, because it's not healthy and I can't get my boyfriend to touch the stuff (he's a Yankee). But I still LOVE my biscuits, meatloaf, and stuffed peppers!
