I love to cook for family and friends and having them enjoy the food I prepare is just the icing on the cake. Family time needs to be around the table. If we cook it they will come. So let's cook great dishes and bring our family and friends to our table. I am alway looking for flavorfull new recipes and this site has been wonderful.
