I love to bake - breads, cookies, pies, brownies, etc. I love sharing my baked goods with others - this way I can have a taste of something good and sweet, but not feel like I have to eat it all before it goes bad. I enjoy being active - hiking, weight lifting, and cycling. I've participated in 2 separate 100 mile bike rides and felt a real sense of accomplishment when I crossed the finish line.

I have been passionate about cooking and experimenting with different cuisines for over 20 years. I'm often asked what is my favorite dish and I can't answer that, there are too many. I love big flavors that come from a variety of herbs, spices, vegetables, fruits and meats. The only kind of food I'm not absolutely passionate about is desserts.

Our Story

any years ago we took our first trip out of our country. Seeing the different sights and seeing a little bit of the culture was a lot of fun. One of the highlights for us was going to a little cafe and trying food that we had never tasted before. We

were hooked. We decided then that when we got home we would do everything we could to keep sampling foods from other countries and cultures. Each week we chose a different country and studied its culture and cuisine. Then we created a recipe based on what we had learned.

Each recipe has been studied and developed to give a taste of the culture behind it. We hope that as you try each dish that it takes you to another place and gives you a taste of a different culture. Join us as we try world recipes.
