Chicago Tuscan Catering

about me

I live in Chicago.
I'm a Medicare Liaison(Biller)for a hospital in Oak Lawn IL. For fun I search sites for new ideas and recipes. On 10/24/07, I recently attended a book sign in Skokie at Williams-Sonoma and the guest of honor was Giada De Laurentiis, from Everyday Italian FoodNetwork. She so sweet and pleasant and the biggest smile. She took time to get to know me She sign all 4 of my books, SHHH they are Christmas gifts. I received my very first cookbook at the age of 9, BettyCrocker big red hardbound book. I still have it and still cook from it. My passion is food. We have a group of friends that go out once a month to different restaurants and try different foods. I think my best experience was the Ethiopian Restaurant. I loved the culture and the spices that they use in their cooking. My pet peeves are people who are afraid to try new things or food. I look at it this way... life is too short, enjoy every minute.

Favorite Foods:

I like to cook and eat all different foods. I am partial to Thai food when it comes to eating and Italian when it comes to cooking. I also enjoy baking. I like to experiment with different recipes.
