I am an Air Force brat and have lived all over the world. I have been in love with everything food since living with my Grandma as a child...she was awesome! I am currently in college and trying for medical school.I have had the pleasure of meeting alot of people in my life and experiencing many diffent types of foods, I believe that food is like a painting just waiting to be painted. There are no limits visually or of the palette. I have taken up cake decorating as a sort of home business and so it is currently my fav cooking medium. Truely though there is NOTHING I don't love to cook.Anything new and eye appealing is just great. I come from a Slovik and Hungarian background. However my mother remarried Italian. So there was a big Italian food presence in our home. Pulling off a New Years Eve party for 300. I used most of Martha Stewart's appetizer cookbook for my table. Everyone raved and all but a few crumbs were left in less than an hour. My roomate and her sister helped in the process. We created about 2000 appetizers! Making my first cornish game hens for a party of 8. I completed the marinading and stuffing process, left them on the counter in the kitchen and went next door for a moment. When I returned my loving dog was in the process of devouring the 4th of 8! Tragedy!!!! I ended up grabbing some organic chickens and made a similar dinner.
