About this Cook
I have many interests including cooking, eating, hiking, gardening, collecting recipes and cookbooks, and reading. Both of may grandmothers were excellent cooks with different ethnic backgrounds and styles.
My favorite things to cook
Just about anything! I like to try new recipes and create my own recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
That would have to be homemade meatballs and spaghetti sauce. My grandmother taught my mother, who taught me.
My cooking triumphs
Chicken marsala, hands down!
My cooking tragedies
I cannot make a buttermilk biscuit to save my life! They are like hockey pucks!!

Indian Tomato Chicken
I submitted this recipe. I am not Indian born (Italian!!) but I have been married to my Indian husband for 23 years. I learned from the master's hand--his mother!! Northern Indians use Bay leaves...south Indians use curry leaves, which, by the way are wonderful!

Prize Winning Oatmeal Drop Cookies
I, too, wish I had read the reviews. This is a dry, tasteless cookie. They need more sugar. They have a nice texture, but no taste.

Spinach and Hazelnut Salad with Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette
I made this recipe for dinner guests who are major foodies. They couldn't stop eating it and commenting on how good it is!! I used some hazelnuts that I purchased at a farmer's market in Portland, Oregon. I used raspberry preserve and it was great. The shredded wheat cereal was very unique and my guests liked the novelty. I substituted craisins because I did not have golden raisins. I love it!
