ABOUT THIS COOK:

I found your website a few weeks ago and have made some of the recipes. They have all been very well received. I am 52 so somehow this is karma. I have always loved to cook and I really appreciate the video's and other cooks comments. food52 has renewed my interest in cooking and I look forward to more adventures in preparing dishes from around the world. Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone and opening up a whole new world for all of us to experience.
