I love to cook Italian food and have a knack for coming up with original dishes. I also enjoy making soups and stews during the winter. During the summer I will try to grill anything I can get my hands on. Every year for Father's Day I cook a special meal for my husband, father and father-in-law. I usually research recipes for months prior so I can come up with the perfect meal. For the holidays, everyone request's I make "Aunt Millie's Broccoli Casserole", which is a recipe I got off this site. Beef Wellington, as found in "The New Basics Cookbook". It tastes incredible and has an outstanding presentation. The only serious failure I've had was a Vodka Sauce recipe I got out of my "Frugal Gourmet Cooks Italian" cookbook. It came out soooo boozy. I'd never cook this dish again.
