I used to travel a lot, but now cooking is the main way that I can experience and learn new things about other cultures. It is fun to share these experiences with my husband, friends and family. Since I love my friends and family, I want meal that I share with them to be exciting and delicious, but also good for their bodies. Because of this, my favorite meals balance nutrition with good taste. My cooking triumph still lies ahead. I want to begin to mill my own grains and cook my own breads. This will be a big learning process for me since I have never been much of a baker.
