I am a self taught cook since age 12. I learned mostly through trial and error, and the help of cookbooks. Now I very rarely use a cookbook or recipe. I use my skills and imagination to create some of the most sexy, flavorful, dishes, and the most decadent desserts!
My favorite things to cook
Mostly Pastries!!!
Also Thai, Mexican, and Italian. I can also cook southern and soul food dishes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Big Holiday Meals!
My cooking triumphs

scones from scratch
strawberry shortcake
Pizza from scratch
Fried Turkey (whew!)
Steak (well marinated)
My cooking tragedies
Pumpkin cheesecake(cracks all over) roasted turkey wings(tough and too chewy, chicken chesapeake (too fishy tasting)
