I'm a schizophrenic cook --- sometimes I like things easy, other times difficult. I'm usually willing to go through the pain if you can promise me it'll be good! Things rich in flavor that surprise people --- I guess I love the "circus" aspect of cooking. That my sister makes me biscotti every year at Christmas. If I can get away with it, I eat the entire tin myself! (How's that for a tradition?!) Entertaining for a couple dozen people from my 10 x 10 kitchen. "Never say never." Burning the soup for my Book Club. Too many irons in the fire!
