I've delved into all areas of food but keep coming back to creating fun and new recipes for others! I love preparing Mediterranean Foods, Pacific Rim, Tapas, using organic foods and especially cooking in the summer when everything is at it's optimal flavor. Holiday meals- Easter, Christmas Day and New Years Eve. Lamb in the spring, Festive foods and sweets at Christmas Day, champagne and Portugese Bean Soup at midnight with all the family after the fireworks! Catering a friends wedding in 2 days for 300, full appetizers buffet and a sit down dinner with a very limited facility (her mothers small kitchen)and the guests completely unaware of this logistical nightmare! It went off beautifully! Few but the most recent memory...overcooking/burning my brother in-laws birhtday dinner "BBQ Ribs" and on top of that they were WAY too spicy.
