RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I absolutely love to cook and bake. I have a huge collection of recipes (that just keeps growing), as I really like to experiment with new flavors and ideas.
Since smell and taste are the senses that are most strongly linked to memory, I like to collect recipes and cook/bake things that remind me of people in my life, times in my life, or places I've been. It makes me happy to reminisce while I'm enjoying the food I've made!
I look forward to meeting new people here and exchanging ideas!
