I am 27 years old I come from an italian background in food so i have the making of lasagne and so forth down pat but love experimenting. Love spices and herbs they fascinate me especially something so small can make all the difference to a dish. I am an accounts receivable manager in a rehab company.
I have a pure breed akita that doesnt like canned dog food so she gets my version of canned dog food which she loves and is still perfectly healthy. My favourite cookbook at the moment is the one that i designed myself which is a compilation of heaps of recipes that i have done not in any particular order but i know where everything is! lol For fun i love to get out and about or am perfectly happy reading a good book on my own.
