I have always loved to cook. I enjoy the creativity that can be applied to basic food. My motto is "Presentation,presentation,presentation!" It goes a long way! I love to cook soup when the weather permits. Trying new foods is also fun. Really, I love to cook just about anything. I don't have any family traditions. Every year seems to be different. Cooking vegetarian and having my husband not realize he's eating tofu. Horribly burnt steaks on the grill. We had friends over that night that we had not seen is several years.
