I travel, I cook, I eat and I want to talk to you about my life in and around my kitchen, my family, my bichon frisee dog and my love for food.
Background
info: I was born in Vermont, New England
USA and grew up with a love of food from my father. We would pour over
cookbooks and try new recipes on a regular basis – quite unusual in those days!
At 13 I had a huge cookbook collection already.

pot pie, spaghetti and meatballs and more.

I brought
up two children who grew up on my ‘homestyle’ of cooking and in 1991 I took
over a weekend cafe at our local environmental centre where I baked all of the
cakes, pies and made all of the jams and marmalades used and sold. I did this for two years.

I have
always entertained friends and family but my greatest meals were two
Thanksgiving dinners two successive years for 45-50 guests. I cooked all of the food at home and
transported it to the venue.

I started
writing my food blog just over six years ago bringing together my love of
coking, recipe creation, cook books, kitchen gadgets and feeding people. My
blog has taken on a travel side which allows me to travel and experience food
from other countries and cultures.
