About this Cook
I have had a small catering business for 12 years. I do a lot of business, in office breakfast and lunches. I also cater open houses, holiday parties, and weddings. I have a partner in the business. We have been friends since we were 15 years old and we are now almost 53. It is hard work, but very rewarding in the end.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My husband is from Britian. His Grandmother taught me how to make scotch eggs, lemon curd, English Sausage Rolls, and Scottish Shortbread. My kids have grown up eating lots of different types of food. I am always trying new things, so they have no choice but to try them.

Scotch Eggs
I have made these ever since my grandmother in law from Haddington Scotland taught me how. Only difference in recipe is, I use 1/2 original and 1/2 hot sausage.

Fettuccine Alfredo III
This is a fantastic recipe. I have made it for years with these changes. 2 tbsp. butter 1 lb. sliced fresh mushrooms 1/2 c. dry white wine 2 tbsp. chopped parsley 1/2 c. chicken stock 8 slices thinly sliced ham, cut in strips 2 c. whipping cream 1 lb. spinach fettuccine 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese Heat butter, saute mushrooms until soft. Add wine and parsley and simmer until all liquid has evaporated. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil, allow to reduce until slightly thickened. Add cream and ham, boil until reduced to half original amount. Add sauce to cooked pasta and toss. Add cheese and toss again. Salt and pepper to taste.

Carrot Cake III
PLEASE, SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I DID WRONG!! I made the cake exactly as the recipe states, put in 2 9" round pans. It boiled over the sides, which isn't so bad, but when I took it out of the oven the middle of both cakes where sunken in. I am sure it is baking error, but not sure what it could be. Otherwise, the cake tasted great!!
