Acerca de mí
Ok, I am a single empty nester of 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren. I mostly raised my children through the years through meals out of boxes rather than from recipes. I never much liked cooking in those years. Was just trying to raise my children and make it through those years. Now after all this time my interest has turned toward food and cooking and I am enjoying it. It now has become a passion and a joy in learning how to prepare food and how to blend flavors to enhance each other. And to cook for my family and friends and loved ones for all of us to enjoy together. I've discovered that cooking doesn't have to be a chore but a wonderful experience much like creating art. It doen't have to be difficult but is easy and magical. More Later......On a Journey......Taking Steps.......
Influencias de Cocina
The first person in my life and one of the most special who has a great influence on me with cooking is my grandmother. As a child I spent many hours with her in her kitchen as she prepared many meals for many in the family. She was a wonderful cook. My mother did not want anyone in her kitchen but herself, so I was not encouraged by her. My ex was a very good cook but he had training in the army where he was a chef. Although he was a chef and a good cook he was not a teacher. He had no patience. But *he is one of the motivating forces for me to excel at cooking now*. So now that I am single my teachers are Wolfgan Puck, Paula Deen, Racheal Ray, Bobby Flay, Sandra Lee, Pat and Gina Neely, Anne Burrell and many others on the Food Network. I have many teachers now through television, YouTube, the internet, and my cook books and myself. Now my family and friends are encouraging me and enjoying my new journey in life.
