Chef Michael's Corn and Crab Bisque
"I recently visited New Orleans on vacation and my fiance and I took a regional cooking class. The chef made this dish and even though I didn't think I would like it (I'm not a big corn chowder person), I absolutely LOVED this dish and went back for seconds. If it wasn't for the large class, I would have happily offered to lick the pot clean. I can't wait to try this when I get home!"

I love to putter around in the kitchen. While some people find it stressful to come home after a long day and cook, I find it relaxing. I'm a good cook and an even better baker. I've been using this website for years and have decided that it's time to share some of my favorite recipes. I hope others find these recipes as helpful as I have found theirs!
