1) What
do you like to cook?
I
like to cook meats and veggies on the grill. I also like to make soup im my
crock pot.
2) Where
do find you recipes?
Many
of my recipes have been passed on from friends. I also use allrecipes.com for
recipes.
3) What
is your earliest culinary memory?
Good
question. The one that sticks out is going to my great aunt’s bakery. I remember
watching the employees mixing dough in the giant mixers. I can still smell the
bakery in the ovens.
4) What is your favorite food?
Pizza.
I love pizza. i think it is my favorite food because it is so versatile. Thick
crust, thin crust, cheesy crust, sesame crust, meat lovers, bbq sauce instead
of red sauce, the options go on and on.
5) Is
there a food that you won’t eat and why?
The
only food that I won’t eat is beets. I love vegetables, but beets have a very
earthy taste. I would compare them to the taste of dirt/soil.
6) Tell
us about your most dramatic kitchen mishap?
I
was grilling bacon at my uncles house. I got a little brazen and put more bacon
on the grill then I should have. Of course, I started a grease fire. The grill
was actually melting! It was very scary...and embarrassing. i have never lived
it down. someone always brings it up when I am grilling.
7) Do
you own a kitchen tool you never use?
I
have an electric knife that has sat in a box since it was a gift to me. I have
never had an occasion to use it, but its sure nice.
8) Do
you like to bake? Why or why not?
I
enjoy baking when I had the time; it can be very time consuming. I like it
because I like making things from scratch. i can improvise ingredients to make
the recipe healthier. i also love how the house smells when treats are in the oven. Baking reminds me
of being a young child and gives me that “warm” feeling inside.
9) Why
is cooking enjoyable for you?
Cooking
is enjoyable to me because I get reward of the outcome! I like GOOD food. I
refuse to eat garbage i.e. fast food. i.e. enjoy entertaining and its is a
wonderful compliment to be asked for my recipes.
10) What is the best cooking tip you’ve received?
Hmmmm.
this is a hard question. I guess it would be to taste as you go. I will never
understand how you can serve a dish that you did not take the time to
taste-test first. It could be awful.
