When did you first get in to cooking and do you remember the first recipe you tried?
I began cooking when I was about 6, although my food was simple (grilled cheese) I was all about a great presentation.

My kitchen is open and organized. It is the center of our house and where the action alway is. Everything has it's place and I am constantly looking for improved ways to keep things in order.
What tips would you give to someone wanting to become a better cook?
Don't be intimidated to try try new things and fail. Learning to be a good cook takes time and patience-stay with it.
Who would you invite to your dream dinner party and what would you cook for them?
Julia Child and Jacques Pepin. I have been fortunate enough to meet both of these master chefs, but not cook for them. For both I would make cheese soufflé and I would serve it with a great bottle of wine.
Do you do any other crafts and what are your hobbies?
Cooking is my only craft, I could cook all day long. Hobby-wise, I am an avid snow skier. I have been skiing since I was two. My mother still skies at 75, I hope be be that fortunate.

Smittin Kitchen is the only food blog I consistanly read, she's the original.

I am inspired by my two boys (ages 10 + 13) who love food almost as much as I do.
