My motivation (and weakness) for food started when I was 2 days old...
ok ok - it was a really long time ago, but for as long as I can remember, Ive always had a love and appreciation for food. Thanks to my beautiful & talented mother, I learned the basics in Latin foods earlier on in life, and although she branched out a lot and didnt just feed us rice and beans 7 days a week (it was more like 4
), I still felt like there was a world of foods out there for me to eat - and learn about. When I realized there was a world outside of Wings and Mozzeralla Sticks (college days), my only option left was to attack...
Since 2006, I've been exploring, learning and tasting new foods mainly because I just love food, but I decided to try and master the foods I fell in love with so that I can please myself at home - anyday, anytime..... Stay focused. Of course it's nice being catered to, but I love being able to create my faves at home and discovering new flavors and techniques.... and since I cant afford to pursue a full-time culinary career right now, I have decided to educate myself by way of - mom, books, cooking shows, cooking classes and some good ol' inspiration. I wanted to dedicate an entire page to 'showcase' my work and of course share most of my recipes with you and invite you to try them out at home!
90% of the ingredients I use are organic, grass fed, cage free, local, fresh, etc. Besides, 'whole' is more natural and it taste even better! Credit goes to the following:
