My passion for cooking started late in life, about 3 years ago. I went a year without being able to cook my own food, and I think that sparked it. Now I am a whiz at following recipes and making food many enjoy, which is always satisfying. And I have also been experimenting with my own recipes. I would like to start tackling more difficult recipes. Italian, Asian, BBQ, cakes, cookies Holiday meals, grillin' out, comfort food Perfecting my chili recipe. Making roast beef for a party of 8, creating a frying pan quiche...delicious! There were a lot when I first started out. I could boil water and that's about it.
