I love to cook everything! I am learning to cook West African food from friends and family, but my true passion is everything Iatlian, the language, art , wine and of course the food! My favorite cookbook..hmm let'see? I would say right now it varies. Depends on my mood. I really do enjoy Giada De Laurentiis' book and shows. Foodnetwork and FineLiving channels are always on at my house. I love to go to farmer's markets and Whole Foods.
