I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. My latest passion is food-photography!

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together.
