<p>Seems as though I have always cooked. Our parents both worked and I was charged with making dinner. I have 3 brothers who had rather large appetites while growing up. </p>
<p>I experiment and play with ingredients. If I like the result, I write it down so I can make it just the same way the next time I try. I now have a white binder filled with hand written recipes. </p>
