I love good food (both cooking and eating), salsa dancing, traveling, taking photographs, making jewelry, and orchids. I guess I have quite a few hobbies :) I rarely use cookbooks, and instead make up my own recipes. I get inspirations from eating out, Food TV, food blogs, travel, etc. My favorite fruit is a mango, and my favorite vegetable is a tomato: thus, the name of my blog Mango & Tomato.

1. What do you cook when home alone?

   I'm usually home alone :) So whatever I feel like.

2. Your most treasured kitchen possession:

   A chef's knife. I really would not be able to do much without it.
