I enjoy cooking anything with a mediterranean flair, especially using fresh herbs, spices, and seasonal vegetables. I love cooking for my friends and family, whatever the occassion. I host our family's Thanksgiving dinner which usually features an organic herb-rubbed turkey and basil mashed potatoes. For Christmas, I cook a huge pot of Dungeness Crab Cioppino and serve it with crusty Italian bread and a bold red table wine. I consider it a triumph anytime I don't burn a meal! However, my biggest accomplishment was when I cooked and baked all of the dishes and desserts for a Christmas party for over a hundred people and was asked, "Can I get the name of your caterer? I'm planning a party..." Anytime I try to grill a steak. I leave that to my husband.
