I've had no formal training other that what was provided by my mother and grandmother. I have always loved to cook and my job has had me travel the word which taught me to try new things and then try to make what I liked at home. May of my recipes have been collected online, some have been modified to fit my tastes and some are all mine that I entered completely. If you try any and liked them, tell your friends.....and send me some feedback. I love to hear feedback on my recipes from others.
