Retired from advertising/PR - whew! Love to grow my own herbs and use them throughout winter. The best cookbook is the one that evolves in your own kitchen - with the help of friends, hotel chefs around the world - and of course Recipezaar contributors. Passions? Well, Italian cooking, wine matching, travel, I play the Market a bit, write, & love to watch people. Oil painting after 50 years!Pet peeves: recipes that lack complete instructions, and people who claim "secret" recipes. On the internet, there ARE no secrets - keep googling til you pop that 'secret' ! LOL
