Fantabulous Food

There is so much I love about food and cooking.

First, I enjoy being able to experience a taste of other cultures. I'm excited to try new cuisine whether it's a new mom and pop restaurant or when I travel to a new country. 

  Second, cooking is like an experiment with all the spices, sauces, vegetables, fruits & meats. I get a little thrill of finding out quirky ingredients as well as when I can find substitutions for recipes so that I can always make a great recipe even when I don't have all of the original ingredients.

Third, I find cooking very meditative. I can shut everything else out and just get lost in the process of cooking. The slicing, the stirring, and even the serving.

Lastly, I love getting to share the results with my family and friends. I put heart into the food I cook so it is extremely rewarding when I get to see the enjoyment in the end result.
