i started cooking when i was 10 yrs. old and have never stopped.i've been cooking for a living now for over 25yrs. and still enjoy it.i have two children(well three if you count my husband)my daughter is out of the house with a baby of her own.my first grand child!she's not much of a cook and has never been really interested in learning.maybe now that she has a family she'll ask for help!my son is 16 and has the love of food like me.he enjoys cooking and creating.he's pretty good too.we always cook from scratch with a take out here and there.we garden and love to go to farmers markets to buy what we don't grow ourselves.we are definately into food! i love to cook almost anything except for desserts.i don't like to measure so it's not my thing.i will bake for holidays and special times but that's it.i love fresh ingredients and like to create my own recipes and put twists on old favorites. sunday dinner with family!whether it be a nice roast or pasta dish or a bbq,it's what we do as a family every sunday beef wellington when i was in my early 20's.it was a challenge and it was amazing! leaving the bag of turkey giblets and neck in the bird on the first thanksgiving i hosted for my inlaws!how embarrassing!
