RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I work in customer service for a medical equipment company. I love to cook and maybe someday will become a chef or caterer. I am married to an outdoorsman so maybe someday we will both be working at or owning a lodge where I can be the cook. I really enjoy all cultures and have lots of cookbooks and recipes (amish, pioneer, depression era, tibetan, outdoorsman, bahamanian, middle eastern, white trash cookbook, dutch oven/outdoor, wild foods, health foods, live enzyme uncooked foods etc.). I would have joined the peace corps if qualified. I am really into Slow Food, seeing how different cultures go about their food and diets, seeing self-sufficiency such as Victory Gardens during WWII and learning from each other new and possibly more suitable, tasty or nutritional ways of eating.
