I love to cook for my family and friends....I especially enjoy cooking Italian food--and the process of making it. I make many of my own breads/homemade pasta and specialty italian foods...as a full time critical care nurse and children to raise, cooking is a way of interacting with my kids (they cook also)...teaching my friends to cook is relaxing...
