Both my parents are wonderful cooks, however my mother announced to me several years ago that she never really liked to cook and that floored me. I asked her how she could have been so good at something she didn't really like and she said it just had to be done. I love to cook and experiment with different things. Some dishes I put together without a recipe, just because I think it will sound good and I don't have too many rejects. I consider myself lucky to have a family that will go along with this experimentation. I like to cook quick dishes with natural ingredients. I do a lot of my cooking from scratch for the health of my family.
