I am so glad to have found the 'Zaar! I love to cook, and have an extra passion for cooking international dishes. I'll try pretty much any cuisine, and I love that the 'Zaar offers such a variety. I am single, and making plans to adopt my first baby internationally in 2006. I'm really looking forward to making my own fresh baby food, and not using that yucky jar stuff. I'm currently collecting baby food recipes as well. I spent a good part of my childhood sitting up on my Granny's counter while she cooked many, many wonderful southern meals. I learned from the best, and she imparted to me her cooking skills, as well as her love of cooking for a family. I have used those skills to come up with a lot of original recipes. I've become very good at cutting down recipes for just one or two servings. I don't think I ever saw my Granny measure anything, and she taught me how to eyeball and "guesstimate", and taste when cooking. I just recently found the 'Zaar, but I've already learned to recognize some of the Chefs' nics here, and KNOW their recipes will be good! I love to collect and try new recipes, and look forward to imparting that to my daughter(s) as well.
