I am a professional, young woman that enjoys cooking wonderful tasting, HEALTHY food. Healthy absolutely should equal delicious ! I was in the restaurant industry at a corporate level for 10 years for a multi-award winning restaurant group in Washington, DC. I learned alot during this time - from how to deal with a re-cook, what a medium prime rib should look like, how to present food with flair, using spices rather than fat for flavor, etc.
My favorite things to cook
healthy, healthy, healthy - Tex Mex, seafood, Middle Eastern cuisine...anything new.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Very all American
My cooking triumphs
Just being brave enough to start learning and realize I'm really good at it.
My cooking tragedies
eek. I try & make them few and far between. The worst thing I've made was a pizza on store bought low-carb pizza dough. It was horrible.
