I'm 40 years old, divorced no kids. My English grandma started teaching me to cook when I was about 10. I work as a telecom engineer and I own a landseer newfoundland dog. My hobbies are golf, travel, jewelry making, and of course cooking! Anything with a full flavored delicious sauce. Some favorites are Pork Normandy, Beef Stroganoff, Alfredo Sauce, Curried Chicken. My mother's illustrious Black and Decker cheese cake. I don't get the recipe until it's willed to me. Finding this website as been a triumph, I've cooked new recipes from here every week this summer. I can't make pastry, period. I have tried a million times. I just buy it frozen and forget about it.
