I am a single mother of one 18 y.o. daughter and, in my opinion, i am a very experienced cook, i have been cooking for over 20 years. I enjoy cooking for my family and i "almost" always get rave reviews on everything i make. Most of my family thinks that i am the best cook, this includes my older siblings and mother!!! So i am pretty proud of that fact. I have two pet peeves, the first would be would be FENNEL seeds, i absolutely cannot stand these & too much GARLIC!! One of my older sisters is famous for making this mistake quite often. Oh, i forgot my last, but definitely not the least is when a "food critic", if you will, says: "THAT'S NASTY OR THAT LOOKS NASTY", if he/she doesn't like the {looks of}dish, a subtle "that type of food does not appeal to me" will do. The above statement is just rude!! Finally, I will eventually list some of my FAVORITE recipes here just to see the reviews, but i don't expect much because no one person likes the same thing or the world would be very boring place!! Happy Cooking!!
