Shortly after leaving my home, and moving out on my own at 18, I realized I did not know how to cook. Fortunately around that time a new network had been added to my local cable lineup called TV Food Network “for people who cook”. I also had my mother’s Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, and the sage advice from my grandmother that if I could read, I could cook. 30 years and thousands of recipes later I am proud to say I can hold my own in the kitchen. The chefs at FoodTV feel like family members I’ve been learning from most of my life. I love trying new recipes, with new flavors and ingredients. Much to my sweet husband’s dismay I often only make a recipe a few times before forgetting it and moving on to the next. This site is an attempt to remedy that.
