Cooking Influences
I have been a fan of the culinary arts since a young age. My first recipe manifested itself when was around 9 years old- Skillet Peanut Butter Cake! Everyone seemed to enjoy it, but some later would complain of slight tummy aches!.LOL I spent countless hours in the kitchen with my older sisters while they prepared dinner before our parents returned home from work, until I took over the apron at around 14. I enjoy fusing Southern American, Latin, Asian, Indian, Caribbean and Italian flavors and spices to create recipes soothing to the mind, body and soul. I grew up watching Cooking Cheap and Graham Kerr as well as whatever PBS had to offer. I've been preparing traditional Southern Soul Food and colloquial cuisine since around age 13. I like The Food Network Crew and Wolfgang Puck, Emeril, and many others.
