Thanks for stopping by! I'm so glad you're here! I'm having fun cooking and sharing recipes, along with the stories behind them. I'm an award winning competitive cook, as well, and I love telling tales about my adventures traveling the world in search of the best food, winning recipes and sharing a meal or two with the people I love. Cheers!
