I love to cook and am obsessed with Iron Chef America, Top Chef, and Alton Brown; the latter to a lesser extent. I also love to read anything; fiction, mysteries, cookbooks. Some of my fav. authors are Carl Hiassen, Margaret Atwood, Ernest Hemingway. My favorite cookbook is the Healthy Kitchen by Andrew Weil M.D. and Rosie Daley.
