I was born and raised in Charleston,SC. my mom taught me how to cook at an early age but i learned a great deal from my grandmother. i would sit in the kitchen and just watch her and i picked up quite well. being raised in the South, I consider myself to be a pretty good cook. I'm always opent o try new things! I actually like to bake more than cook. i like to experiment with new things, seasonings and flavors to know what combinations I like best. my favorite family tradition is having the whole family for Thanksgiving and Christmas-Turkey, stuffing, and all of the fixin's :) Gives me a chance to really showcase my talents!
