Cooking is one of my outlets - I love to get in the kitchen and CREATE. I think it is my desire to see how effort can evolve into amazing results - oh and taste delicious!
My mom is the reason that I fell in love with cooking and my family and friends continue to foster my habit by telling me what the think of my dishes.
I once cooked a horrible pancetta dish that somehow looked like glue and I was mortified. Needless to say I threw the whole thing out and went out to dinner!
I LOVE to review restaurants and post them on yelp.com. One of my dream jobs is to be a food, wine ad boutique resort critic...ahhhh...now that would be a pretty good life, huh??
