I LOVE to cook! I have been creating in the kitchen for as long as I can remember and writing recipes for many years.
I identify cooking with feelings of accomplishment, peace of mind and reminiscence. My favorite childhood memories involve cooking with my mother and grandmothers. We would enjoy one another's company while cooking for family gatherings. It was always a family effort harvesting, canning and freezing vegetables and fruit in the summer/fall. I wasn't aware at the time, but I was learning generations of recipes and family cooking traditions that would carry through my life and hopefully eventually through my children.
My husband and I are doing our best to raise our children with an appreciation for good, fresh and healthy food and different cooking techniques. I am amazed daily at how quickly they are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives, preservatives, hormones, artificial food coloring, artificial sweeteners, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry "improvements" have contributed. I'm doing my best to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive.
Having friends and family with food allergies, I know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. If I know someone has a food allergy, I will do anything within my power to ensure that person's safety whether he/she is a stranger, friend or close family. It can be challenging to cook for someone with a food allergy, but it is also extremely rewarding when that person's face lights up just knowing they are safe in my hands.
I love to cook and entertain for family and friends. It's a great joy for me to serve them delicious, creative dishes, and I always anticipate their feedback. All of my recipes are posted to my account on www.food.com as MarthaStewartWanabe. Please feel free to check them out and let me know what you think. :)
