Love to learn about it. Love to watch tv shows about it. Love to prepare it. Love to eat it. It is my passion. When I'm not working or playing with my dog Fredo, you will always find me in the kitchen creating. Because that creative process for me is heart-fulfilling. And the more complicated and involved the cooking process is (i.e., think making homemade tamales) the happier and more serene I am.
I have catering and restaurant experience as well as cooking for friends and family. I like to hear about what flavors appeal to you, then take those ingredients and come up with something made especially for you. A simple BBQ sauce that I made for years on my babyback ribs launched a line of Sassy Sauces that I now make by request.
Locally grown produce inspires me to can for a later date. The smell of bacon instantly makes me drool until I can savor the salty & fatty goodness in my own mouth. Eating out will automatically make my brain start to process how I can make the food better at home. Any extra cash I have I use to buy food to create with. It is my passion. It is who I am.
