I am a middle-aged woman who hopes she isn't in a mid-life crisis and never will be. Cooking is my life. Always has been. I loved it so much as a kid that my parents actually got my on a kids cooking show! I made a break from there and have been one several famous cooking shows including one of my own! But the fame is over and for now I enjoy cooking up treats and huge family backyard parties!
