I have lived all over the great United States. I have spent time in Alaska and in Mississippi and am overwelmed by all the different types of food in the world. Asian food and southern foods are my favorite foods to cook. I love to go gourmet and non-traditional as often as possible. I have to say I love it when my mom shares a recipe that her mom taught her and her mom taught her and so on and so forth. My stir-frys are definately a triumph for me! I cannot make a good cake to save my life. :)
