I have been in the food industry all my life and cooking is a great passion of mine. My interest in the culinary arts developed early on. As a teenager, I watched my mom cook and helped her write recipes for our Stong's weekly flyer. As I became older, I began cooking and experimenting with new recipes before introducing them to my friends and family.
There were many pitfalls and disasters along the way but each episode became a learning experience. I cooked my very first turkey when I was 23 and living in Portugal. We used a skipping rope to tie up the bird and it seemed like a great idea until the plastic handles melted in our wood-burning oven! I have amassed a wonderful collection of cookbooks over the years and I read them passionately; the same way some people read romance novels. Inspired by the various ideas I found in these books, I started creating my own recipes. I enjoy catering for friends and family. This gives me ample opportunity to try out new recipes and get some valuable feedback.
Happy Cooking!
