A lot of reasons. First and foremost, I have learned so much from the online world, that I want to give back; and since I get A LOT of compliments on my cooking, I thought I would be able to contribute small amounts of wisdom here and there. ;) Let's hope so!
My vision for this blog is to share my everyday kitchen stuff that we all go through--the exciting successes, disappointing failures and frustrations, shortcuts, tips. techniques, tools, organization (although I'll be the first to admit that's not my strength at all!), and projects I take on related to the kitchen.
Where did I learn to cook? My mom is Italian, and as you probably know, it is a REQUIREMENT that all Italian women cook well, so she passed that on to her kids. My mom was my first teacher. Then I also have to give credit to the Food Network. I mean, who needs culinary school when you have amazing chefs sharing their secrets on a regular basis?! I learned so much from Emeril, Rachael Ray, Giada, Paula and Barefoot Contessa. I have to say that's when I began to "get cooking" beyond the basics of simply following a recipe and tweaking it here and there to suit my family's taste. What the Food Network chefs did for me is open my mind to the creative possibilities of cooking and encourage me to risk improvising.
So this will be my place to record all things kitchen-related, and hopefully someone out there will benefit :)
I'm excited to start this journey. Ta ta (until tomorrow!)
