Grew up in the kitchen. Learned from all the women in my family, including 2 professional chefs, lucky me! My family is always in the kitchen, making every ethnic food known to man on any and all occasions. Any reason to eat good food! Because of my extensive hands on experience cooking with my family, my friends are always asking me to cook for them. They come running. Really quite funny, cause cooking just comes natural to me! Making homemade pierogis every Christmas with the whole family slathered in flour! And of course the yearly homemade Polish/Italian sausage to accompany the pierogis! And last but not least, the yearly Palmeni's. YUM!
