I have always loved food - all kinds of foods and there isn't anything I wouldn't try to cook. I have to confess that I have married a professional chef, which has expanded my knowledge, but I have always enjoyed cooking. We love French foods best because they go well with red wines, which we love; however, we love all ethnic cooking as well. Honestly, I love to cook casseroles. My husband would almost never cook a casserole! But sometimes I just need that good ol' home cookin'. He's more into the steaks and sauces.... Cooked some fish one time in a class casserole dish and took it out of a hot oven for a guest and put it on the counter and it exploded when is touch a drop of cold water. I couldn't believe it. Nothing was salvigable.
