I live in Louisiana and am the office manager for a plant nursery. Love to cook. My favorite cookbook is New Southern Living by Nathalie Dupree. If I had a month off I would finish testing all of my new recipes.
I have been testing quite a few of the new ones I have found on Recipezaar. There are a lot of great cooks here.
