Helping Grandma in her hot kitchen for hours was the norm while growing up. With some education in culinary arts and my love of food, it helped path the way to numerous tasty dishes in my kitchen. Currently, I'm in the business of banquet catering and serving. Our job is to make food look and taste beautiful. My cooking confession: I'm a cake snob. Mexican-inspired, vegetarian, fish, and breakfast/brunch. Bacardi Rum Cake - It's tradition. Take it to work, and you will win the affection of your colleagues. Trying to impress my boyfriend by making a chocolate cake from scratch and didn't have enough chocolate. Tragedy! Well, he's a ex-boyfriend now. Never skim on the chocolate.
