ABOUT THIS COOK:

I am an old friend of Merrill's Mother, Veronica. I love this web site and am so impressed with all you do and the fact that I can be part of it. I love to cook more than anything else. It is the most relaxing and creative activity. Nothing says love more than making a wonderful meal for your friends and family. Anything and everything about the kitchen and cooking makes me happy. I love to try new cuisines...on a bit of an Indian kick right now. I am thrilled I have now joined your web site.
