ABOUT THIS COOK:

In the last 7 years or so I have become passionate about food. I love immersing myself in a brand new cookbook. I go to bed with shiny new copies of Bon Appetite and Gourmet. I find I can't never get enough information! Taking a long stroll in the produce aisle of my local co-op or farmers market is always a great way for me to loose myself. I also love to run, read and spend time with my boyfriend and my dog.
