I have been cooking for over forty years. Cooking comes naturally for me. I usually create my own recipes but still enjoy cookbooks and allrecipes.com for ideas. I enjoy cooking everything:bread, soups, salads, main dishes, desserts, it's all fun. I enjoy putting tasty, healthy food on the table for family and friends. Hmm....I try not to get locked into traditions. I used to cook corned beef and cabbage with creamy horseradish sauce for St. Patrick's Day but since I moved to Pennsylvania I've learned that I much prefer pork roast and sauerkraut. I enjoy the way cooking changes with the seasons. chocolate souffle, linzertorte, chateaubriand in pastry with truffles and pate, my shredded pork chili. too numerous to mention.
