Currently, I cook for developmentally-challenged adults. They love home-cooked meals, and I make them as attractive as possible...when I bake bread, the smell wafts through the entire place! They love it, and I love making it!

About me

Greetings, all. I've been cooking for over 45 years, and love every minute of it. "Self-proclaimed chef":.. the main page sez- the nerve! :O) I love to grow and use herbs in my dishes, as well as cook pretty well anything, and I also love to bake. To me, cooking is not only an art, but a love and passion that expresses itself in presentation of delicious foods. Healthy and attractive cuisine makes culinary art all worthwhile! Culinary art is like medicine; it helps heal an aching heart, it soothes the soul, it relieves stress! I even find it makes me feel better when I'm feeling sick, and in the stages of recovery. When I get cooking, I feel much better. And, like medicine, you can never learn it all! Chefs are always experimenting, trying out new recipes, compiling new recipes, testing, and TASTING! That's what I love about cooking... the experimentation, the discovery of a new recipe, even if by 'accident', and each experiment leads to more experiments, some leading to success, and some leading to total failure. But, failure is not disaster in that it leads to success by continually trying, tweaking a recipe, adding this and that, removing other ingredients, and judging from the comments of those to whom you serve your dishes. The latest course I took is now finished, and I was able to graduate with an average of 94 %, allowing my name to be placed on the Dean's list!

Chef Elaine - You are a wonderful person with a heart of gold. Your 'guests' are so blessed to have you working the kitchen. I can only imagine the joy they feel when you are baking bread. Perhaps you'll try my family Limpa bread recipe. I never smelled any bread as wonderful - and I LOVE ALL BREADS! You keep that positive, creative attitude fired up because that is what makes you excited about cooking and very good at it. Be well and keep sharing the love - best regards, Amos

Welcome, if you do not mind, I would like to follow you. I am quite new to EatCookShare, but enjoy checking the site regularliy for new recipes. I enjoy gardening and always grow chives to add to my eggs and casserols. I tend to buy the others like parsley ginger and garlic, as I mostly have perennial flowers in my garden. Great that you grow your own. I have been home and in treatment for the last year and have developed a renewed interest in cooking, cooking with power foods, and trying some new recipes these days.
