about me

If I could afford to eat at upscale restaurants every night of the week, there would be no need for me to cook! I demand variety, quality, and creativity in my food. This is one reason why I cook.

The other reason I cook is because I can't stop! It is as natural to me as breathing. I can remember looking through my mother's cookbooks as soon as I could read. While I love modern recipes, I also use the same cookbook that my mother did while I was growing up. I found a copy of the 2nd Edition Betty Crocker cookbook reprinted in 1956 at a used book store. In fact, my copy is in much better condition than my mom's!

I started cooking on my own when I moved into my first apartment in 1993. When I was in law school, it seemed that the more stress and time constraint I was under, the more that I cooked. This is still true now that I am a licensed attorney.

I make my own wine. A kind Italian friend showed me how. Last year, I made 5 gallons of Chianti. This year, I am making 5 gallons of Chianti and 5 gallons of pinot grigio.

I had so much fun making my first cookbook last year at www.heritagecookbook.com. I gave it as Christmas gifts. Everyone was absolutely amazed. I am quite proud of it.

Favorite Foods:

Filet mignon, sausage, lasagne, pizza, poppers, pie, ice cream, peanut butter, chocolate, and wine.
