My mom taught me to cook and to appreciate eating (which I believe she inherited from her father). She gifted me this membership so I'm grateful, thank's Cucina Casalingo! I am married to one of the world's pickiest eaters so I'm challenged to find things that I can make and share with him, no kids. I own my own business as a Professional Organizer. I'm an avid gardener and crafter and love to cook with fresh locally grown foods. I am a member of a CSA and I believe in fresh local and organic! The path to our healthy future is lined with these goodies! Spread the word, then feast!
