I come from a mixed European family, my mother is Polish/German and my Father was Russian. My intrest in cooking started when i was 17, when I joined the Navy and became a cook. Since then I have cooked and have even worked next to some chefs that have owned their own restaurants. I love to cook big buffet style meals for the holidays and spend hours on end in the kitchen. Cooking is my passion! Casseroles, Salads, One dish meals, Seafood, Chicken, Turkey, Side dishes, Soups, Italian foods, Indian foods, BBQ Steak and Chicken, Healthy foods. Its a secret!
