A Passion for Cooking

When people first discuss cooking with me, the first question they ask is "what kind of food do you make?"   

The answer is, "It varies."  I change cooking style depending if I'm cooking for myself, for friends, for family, for meat eaters, for vegans, for a big crowd or an intimate meal.  Generally I try to cook with "whole" ingredients, meaning that if I have the choice between a natural food or a processed one, I will always choose natural.  I love tofu, tempeh, wheat gluten, beans and nuts as proteins.  I base most of my meals around fruits and vegetables.  I use rices, grains, and yes, I use pasta too.  I create sauces with depth of flavor, and add seasonings that enhance taste without raising your blood pressure.  Below please find some photographs along with sample menu plans.
