Im originally from England, now living in Missouri thanks to my wonderful husband! We met while he was stationed overseas and we spent some time living in Germany before ending up in Saint Louis. It was pretty much love from the start. We have two beautiful boys who LOVE to eat! And my husband is so enthusiastic and supportive of my cooking! Our family loves to try new things, which is so much fun but challenging!! Im a vegetarian, but all my guys love meat. My husband loves HOT spicy foods, but the boys and I dont!
We are huge fans of foreign foods, especially European foods as we have both been lucky enough to travel to various countries and try the local foods.
I love shopping from at the farmers markets and try to do our cooking from scratch. Im on the verge of trying to make homemade pasta to accompany my husbands homemade spaghetti sauce! We also would like to try to make homemade mozerella!!
My favorite things to cook
I love making homemade tarts. My english Fish and Chips are always a hit and I especially enjoy making appetizers.
Im pretty good at cooking meats too, despite not having a bite of it since I was 9! My boys called me 'The Best Chicken Winger'.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love the holidays when our families can join together and all bring a dish!
My cooking triumphs
The crust from the tarts I make are homemade and I always receive compliments on those.
My cooking tragedies
I melt utensils all the time! And I botched zucchini bread twice in a row once! Dont ask!!
