I love to cook- but not for the fun of it. I cook with a purpose! And that is to cook great tasting food for anyone who comes to my table.
I live in Canada now, but am a native of Florida. I love southern food, and european food. I am up for anything that tastes great! I am married to a french canadian and I have found a lot of great recipes from living here.
