about me

Hi, I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. I am semi-retired; I have a Bed & Breakfast, which is temporarily closed.
When I have guests I enjoy making special breakfasts that are easy, quick, tasty and different.
I like cooking for my husband who enjoys all foods, and for family and friends.
I enjoy baking more.
I try to cook with low-fat ingredients in mind, including deserts..but everything must be tasty.
I do not have an all-time favorite cookbook ..I find recipes from magazines, tv, newspapers, & then compile them in a cookbook of my own..I 'try & test' the recipes..if tasty,I keep 'em, if not, out it goes!
I tend to use old recipes over & over, new ones sometimes are a disappointment.

Favorite Foods:

I do not have a favorite 'dish' however, I specialize in making different soups.
Most restaurants are a disappointment..my son who is an executive chef informs that food & overhead costs are high in a restaurant so one must expect to pay for a good meal..I only seem to frequent the mediocre restaurants so often I am disappointed, and I'd rather cook at home.
