Arr, arr, arr! Welcome aboard the KitchenAid! Ya best start believin' in cuhl'nary stories?! Yer in one!! -Captain Bakebossa

Have dough hook, will maraud. - Cookgirl (aka CG, Cookie, Cookster) ship's chief cook and bottle washer and CEO of the CGTD Institutue of Culinary Arts and Kitchen Disasters


~Tasty Dish~ and I (the CGTD staff) are anticipating spring and summer cooking as we relax here in front of the raging fire sipping almond milk steamers with a shot of hazelnut syrup.

Favorite Foods:

Mediterranean/Greek, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Spanish, Italian, country French, some but not all fusion, Pacific Northwest and traditional American.

I have a large herb garden and enjoy cooking with a good selection of fresh herbs. My favorites are: lavender, salad burnet, lovage, basil, sage, etc. I also like cooking with a variety of spices.


Approximately sixty percent of our homemade meals are vegetarian/vegan. Luckily, vegetarian cooking has come a long way from plain brown rice and bland tofu.

Dislike: milk straight up (milk's okay in cooking/ breakfast cereal), eggplant (two strikes: taste and texture), offal (awful), American-style pizza, heavily processed food especially meals in a box, most fast food (love Taco Bell tacos though! )

One interesting thing about me (the only interesting thing really) is I must avoid chocolate. It gives me terrible migraines. I must admire it from afar. I dearly love dark chocolate, too. It is what it is.


Eat seasonally, buy locally (as best you can). CG
