I'm 28 years old and a student at the University of Oklahoma. My major is English Literature, and I hope to be a writer.Cooking has been in my family for a long time. I am of Italian American descent and grew up in my family's restaurant, so I am no stranger to a kitchen. Asian, Italian, Asian-Italian fusion. ;) Cooking was something that was instilled in me by my mother at a young age, so any time I am cooking with her, I love it. Whether we're making old favorites, or putting our heads together to come up with something new, cooking with my mom is always an adventure.
