I have been enchanted with the kitchen since I was a little girl. I remember looking through cooking magazines to select foods I would like to try. Then I would gather the family together and test out the recipes. Some were really good and some terrible. I have refined my ability to select recipes based on the ingredients and spices listed. My love for the kitchen continues to this day.
