ABOUT THIS COOK:

I am a happily married mother of three fantastic children with a huge passion for food. In cooking for friends and family, I have a blossoming catering business in Atlanta. I mostly enjoy savory things but have been getting more into sweets and am beginning to experiment with that as well. I love being creative in the kitchen, trying new recipes, changing them and making up my own. I am very actively involved in our Children's Hospital, PTA, athletics and our church.
