Before Food TV, as a kid I would watch cooking shows on the public tv station. I have always loved cooking or baking, but don't consider myself an expert (Julia Child- she' an expert). I love to cook just about anything. I am the owner of a dog day care and in home pet sitting service...so now I cook (or bake) for my dogs and the dogs of my clients. I love cooking with my dad and baking with my mom. I absolutely love my time with them in the kitchen. They are the best at what they do! I make a mean leg of lamb on the grill. Too many to count :-)!!!
