I love in Ontario Canada,where the winters are cold and the summers are even colder. I grew up in an italian family,always cooking and ALWAYS eating.Watching my grandmother and mother cook has allowed me to become the great chef i am today.My mother,my sister(soupcookie)and myself are huge food critics,were always trying new foods and new recipes.It has almost become a competitive thing between the 3 of us,and were never afraid to voice our taste opinions.
