<p>Cooking is a form of art for me and I love to use it to express myself. It gives me a great joy to prepare meals for the people I care about. I don't do it as much as I'd like too (full time job keeps me busy), but when I get a chance to cook, I put my whole heart into it. <br /><br />I'm from Calgary but I was born in Poland and spent there the first 20 years of my life so I pretty much grew up on Polish cuisine. In Canada, I've been exposed to so many foreign influences and different tastes and I've decided to broaden my knowledge and enhance my culinary skills. <br /><br />I love cooking for my BF as he eats everything and anything, and my Congo African Grey parrot (this one is the picky one!)</p>
