about me

I love to cook, a lot. I like to play with recipes and work them to meet my tastebuds. I'm also pretty obsessed with ways to make food more healthful and flavorful at the same time.

I am grad student and full time crisis worker. I spend a great deal of free time preparing for my Pre-Lost Dinner Parties. They are a lot of fun and full of laughter and great food.

I am a member of a gourmet cooking club, which is just an excuse for most of my friends to get together and cook really great food. We pick an ingredient or cuisine and everyone has to cook a dish under the perimeters. Good fun.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite cuisine to cook is Italian or Southwestern. My favorite to eat is Japanese. I havne't mastered Japanese yet, but that doesn't mean I won't! I love Thai, Indian, and pretty much all Middle Eastern foods. I love German, but German doesn't love me!!!

My most popular dish is probably my Balsamic Chicken Rissotto. Although, my cinnamon pork tenderloin always gets raves.

My favorite show is Lost followed closely by any and all cooking reality shows (Hell's Kitchen, The Next Food Network Star, Top Chef, you name it). When I'm not in class, I'm having a Lost dinner party before the shows. I also enjoy cooking for holidays and large meals. I cater parties on a personal level.

That's about it for me!
