I am an American living in England. I love food and so I am a chef. I currently cook at two pubs, cook for two wonderful boys and a very hungry husband, and cook when I am bored. I figure I can always find someone to eat it.

Her quirks and foibles
Food loves: | Basically I love food and all of it's potential. Indian and Middle Eastern food are my current favs. |
---|---|
Food hates: | Black pudding. It makes me ill just thinking about it. |
Food heroes: | My grandma and my mom, without thier kitchen know how and patience, I would still be burning breakfast cereal. Also, Nigella Lawson, she has such a passion for food. |
Food villians: | I think Gordon Ramsey is a good chef, but I absolutely hate his programes that show him screaming at and demeaning people in his kitchens. A commercial kitchen just cannot work that way, and I think it puts people off learning to cook because it makes things look too daunting. |
Food highlight: | Cheesecake, I don't eat it, but I am told I make the best cheesecake ever. |
Food lowlight: | Oh there are so many. I love to try new things. I very rarely stick like glue to a recipe, I see them more as guidelines. However, this leads to many disasters, but it is how I learn. |
Favourite utensils: | I find tongs the most useful. |
Food beliefs: | Try everything. Try it over and over again. I hated mushrooms for a very long time, but every so often I would force myself to try them, just in case... and, at a restaurant in Germany, I had the most tender, juicy, crisp, earthy chantrelle mushrooms served with my wild boar main. That was it. I was a convert. So I always say, keep trying new and old foods, you never know when someone is going to get it right for you! |
