Daffazalea Ranch

about me

My love for cooking started when I lost my Mom at a very young age and being awed at myself for making and liking Uncle Ben’s instant white rice mixed with a can of stewed tomatoes and getting compliments from my Dad (such a great and brave man). My quest for excellence in taste comes from my Philippine Aunt and her mother, who in retrospect, were both gourmet cooks.

Favorite Foods:

My own first favorite culture cooking was Mediterranean. Then a tie between Latino and Asian. Now I find myself mixing them all up and loving it. I use wonton wrappers with Italian fillings and whole wheat pasta with Asian noodle sauces. I love mutza ball chicken soup and I dream of ways to use chipotle in adobo sauce. I have been in GA for 12 years and am in love with all their southern simple comfort foods. All this from a little Irish/Scottish girl originally from Boston who lived in a predominately Jewish neighborhood. It appear it is a small world after all…
