Basically, I"m a tinkerer. I like to try new things and I love experimenting with new variations of regular ingredients
My favorite things to cook
Baking is my favorite reason for being in the kitchen. Presenting someone you love with a handmade sweet is the best.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We have our own cookbook full of family recipes and genealogy that is printed up every few years for family reunions. It's wonderful to have the recipes all together and to be able to see pictures of the men and women who made them.
My cooking triumphs
I used to bake professionally, so cooking in large numbers is my "triumph".
My cooking tragedies
When I was just starting out I made a pie crust that was so tough we joked that I could have eaten the filling, washed out the crust and reused it.
