HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS ...
I LOVE FOOD. I care about every aspect of food. Where it comes from, how it was grown, how it is prepared and presented--to most importantly, how it tastes. My other joy is my family. I have been married for almost 30 years and we are the proud parents of two adult daughters. I am also a daughter, sister, auntie, and a "big mom", to a very large extended family. I grew up on a farm where we ate what we grew. The kitchen was where we gathered, laughed and sustained ourselves. Cooking for me is a personal gift of love and nurturing. There is no place I’d rather be than in the kitchen.
I am not a formally trained chef. My cooking skills have been handed down from generation to generation. These techniques reflect my personal style of cooking with care and attention to every detail. I make my pie crust the way my grandfather did--light and flaky, so every bite melts in your mouth.
I read cookbooks as if they were novels. I am constantly searching for the secret ingredient, tip or new method of preparing a dish. I simply enjoy preparing delicious homemade food, made with quality ingredients. To me the greatest joy of cooking is sharing and I look forward to sharing my cooking with you and your family.
