20 yrs cooking. my parents were very tolerant about all my "experiments" in the kitchen. thanks to them i grew to love cooking and pursued a career as a professional, not through a school but through experience in working kitchens. what i can not learn in kitchens i challenge myself with at home. my goals are to one day work in a almost all vegetarian or vegan kitchen, and feed as many people as a can, free of charge Lasagna-the sky is the limit! Soup-a perfect soup is just..... perfect and timeless. my mom's christmas morning crown of gold. planning and making all of my family's thanksgiving weekend meals cooking a fabulous dinner for my vegan friend cooking a fabulous thanksgiving dinner for my meat eating family. creating new appetizers for the catering company i was employed at most memoriable, sugar cookies that were as hard as rocks and tasted like a box of baking soda. making a cake from a box, but trying to pass it off as homemade
