I am a food scientist that works at a dehydrated foods company. I live in Southeast Idaho with my husband and two kitties. I love to cook and experiment with different flavors and textures. However, my husband won't eat anything with onions and garlic in it. Don't worry-- I sneak them in once in a while. :) My favorite cookbook right now is the Moosewood cookbook. The tabbouli is fabulous!
