Love cooking, eating and sipping wine. After a success fun in high tech marketing and then the non-profit sector, I ready to dabble in the next phase of life! Recently published a cookbook for new cooks with a dear friend; Mama Says "No More Frozen Pizza!." Check it out online at www.mamasays.us and follow our blog at www.mamasays.us/blog.
My favorite things to cook
So many favorites, my husband teases me that even if he loves a dish he might never eat it a second time. Love Italian, Mexican, Indian and Moroccan. I'm also a member of a CSA so simply-cooked vegetable are a treat.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Latkes, rum cake, lasagne and lots of chicken and fish recipes.
My cooking triumphs
The face of our grandkids when they bite into something and proclaim that is "the dinner best ever."
My cooking tragedies
Love teaching my niece new recipes...but she's hit a point where she have her favorite recipes to make with me ...and at 12 isn't ready to learn more!!! What is an Auntie who cooks to do?
