About me
I've been cooking most my life, as soon as i could see the counter-top by standing on a chair. My cookbook collection is a great source of inspiration, even though i may find most recipes as suggestions. Always looking to expand my knowledge base and talk to other foodies.
Cooking Influences
My greatest cooking influences happen to be my folks. Both have cooked in restaurants, my Dad was a cook in the Navy as well as the Army for 26 years - collectively. I had the opportunity to assist my Dad in the professional kitchen as well as our home. Another source is my ever expanding cookbook collection, and I believe that if I had television I could become a Food Network junkie.
