I am a teacher. I was once a cook at a Thai restaurant and then at a French bistro. Then I had my own catering business for a few days - too much work and not enough fun! I still love cooking. I especially love to cook Mexican and Italian foods. I don't usually follw recipes, but I look to them for inspiration. I am always trying to re-work old recipes into healthier new ones.
