I'm a psychotherapist who loves to cook. Cooking and baking provide me with an inner and outer sense of organization, clarity, and comfort, and a feeling of abundance in the many delicious ingredients, and in the potential for great meals! Once I mastered the basics of cooking, I now have a sense of delight in what I can create, and love to create new recipes...What a joy cooking is! I love to cook and bake fresh, simple comfort foods with a Californian/Foodie edge. I rarely if ever use canned or frozen goods, and choose predominately organic ingredients from local farmers and small grocery stores whenver possible. It costs more but I believe that local farmers and small businesses deserve support in providing fresher, healthier options.
