From Blackpool UK, Married in 2004 to a Charleston local, and moved to the USA. My best friend is a huge influence on me as she is a professional chef. Since all the meals that come out of her kitchen are so wonderful, I guess the want and need to prepare such wonderful meals finally began to rub off on me. I have a 2 year old son, so I also enjoy incorporating as much fresh veg into his diet while trying to "hide" the things he wont eat. I will take savory over sweet anyday! Being from England my family usually cooks the typical "meat, 2 veg and a starch" kind of meal. However, my new family in South Carolina have some wonderful old recipes for "meeting street shrimp", gumbo and all the southern favorites. My Moroccan Lamb Burgers - if you can call them a burger. I entertained several people with them and everyone wanted my recipe. Too many too list! I had the in-laws over for dinner and made a Chicken Supreme, left it too long sat on the stove and it burned and turned black at the bottom of the pan....they suggested we call for pizza.
