<p>I am from the U.S. Virgin Islands but currently live and work in Atlanta, Georgia. I work for a major airline in customer service. <br />I love cooking for my friends and family and fantasize about being TV Food Show Host. My favorite food is understandbly Caribbean and have a fondness for Asian fare. My Parents were from the Cape Verde Islands which are a group of islands off the west coast of Africa. They were once a colony of Portugal so I have both in my gene bank. I am a professional jazz vocalist but love all types of music. I love to entertain and am famous for my West Indian dishes. My husband had a kidney transplant a few years ago and as a result of the many medications he has diabetes so I have learned to adjust my recipes to ones that keep him healthy and happy. My friends call me the Jazzy singing kitchen diva.</p>
