I'm the usual go-getter, try everything new in the kitchen, love to feed all the people around me all the time. I love to cook with love. Fish, chicken, steaks and stews, veggies and any type of pudding and lots and lots of cup cakes. Everyone deserves their own cake. Mom tought me the golden secrets of cooking with love and patience. Banana bread, rusks, a family recipe of bread baking. (Baking bread while the other members of the family are still asleep and let them wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread with home cooked peach jam and fresh cream on their coffee. Always a winner in our house. After many tries and no cigars my husband bought me a recipe book and a nice set of pots and pans. Since then I am the best cook ever known to myself, especially when it comes to baking chocolate cakes so much loved in our house When I was younger, much younger than now and very uninformed I baked a cake which was so hard I actually chipped a tile when it was thrown (tantrum) against the wall.
