I grew up in the American South, but I'm now living in Europe so my cooking style is... eclectic. I love making Southern comfort food, but I also love trying out complicated European dishes from time to time. Most of the time, though, I'm looking for dishes that appeal as much to my three kids as to my husband and me, and dishes that incorporate the fantastic selection of fresh veggies and fruits that we have here.
