Grew up in an italian home where my parents cooked dinner every night. It's inspired me as I get older and settle down to get myself in the kitchen and I'm loving it. Big fan of bold, robust flavors - and I can mince garlic like a pro! :) Just bought my first high capacity food processor and and love that I don't have to mince onion by hand anymore.
My favorite things to cook
Italian anything, homemade pasta, mexican, stir frys, garlic garlic, GARLIC - anything BOLD and adventurous.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom's famous lasagna (which I can't share until she "walks with God"). Sworn to secrecy on this one.
My cooking triumphs
I made lasagna for 30 once. I smelled like a Mofia housewife for weeks after that stint! :)
My cooking tragedies
Was broiling these delicious steaks at a friend's dinner party. OOPS - put the oven on CLEAN cycle and it locked and wouldn't open for 30 minutes after literally incinerating the $100 worth of steaks. We had pizza that night.
