about me

I was born in Nebraska but, grew up in Southern California. I'm now living in Huntsville, AL for the past 22 years. I have been in the restaurant business for 25 or so years and love to cook. My hobby is tasting dishes at restaurants and re-createing them at home, and I've got a really good palate so I'm rather successful at it. I'm currently working on a lemon pasta sauce I tasted in a local restaurant (they don't make it anymore), I think I am getting close and when I'm happy with the result I will post it here. In my world a recipe is a guideline to cooking and can be altered to suit one's taste.
I collect cookbooks for a hobby and have made at least one recipe from each one.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite foods are any entrees with any sauce. I'm most noted for my pot roast and cherry topped cheesecake (I myself seldom eat desserts) but, I can't share it because I do it from memory and don't have a recipe. I often having a crowd over for cookouts.(weather permitting)
