I live in Australia but I am Spanish. I am a dressmaker by trade but find myself enjoying cooking more these days. I have a great collection of recipes, some from magazines and some my own which I would love to publish one day. Having had gestational diabetes two times in my pregnancies, I have now become challenged to create a book on low GI foods and recipes. I just need to get down and do it. I have slowly posted recipes and still have many more various recipes to post. I hope you like what I have so far.
