My wife calls me "Maso", which is approximately "Tom" in Italian. I love taking recipes and change them to make them full of flavor, easier and quicker to make, and healthier to eat. I've been eating a Mediterranean diet for a long time now, so many of my recipes lean that way. You'll typically find olives, olive oil, nuts and leaner meats in my recipes. I rarely use recipes for most of my cooking, but attempt to get it right when telling others how to make something.
