I just graduated from college in Rochester, NY, but was born and raised in southern Maine. I was brought up around food we gathered ourselves, we had a medium sized garden and most of my family hunts so I've had a lot of wild animals, mostly venison though. For the last couple years in college and now that I'm on my own, I'm working on improving my culinary skills. Huge fan of every kind of seafood, I could probably live off the stuff. I also love fresh vegetables, and cooking with them. I love the traditional new england cooking style my grandmother uses, and I also love the hispanic food from my mom's side of the family.
