I have been cooking as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family that loves to cook. I went to culinary school to indulge in my passion with food and creating new recipes. I don't eat turkey, chicken, pork or red meat. But I do eat fish and shellfish, all dairy, eggs, etc. However, my children love turkey and chicken, so I prepare that alot for them too. My favorite things to cook would have to be pasta, fish and shellfish. I'm always creating new meals by throwing things together that sounds good to me. I don't know what my cooking triumphs are. But I do have get-togethers and large parties often. And when I do, I enjoy challenging myself with my recipe choices in appetizers, meals and deserts that I prepare.
