Welcome to My Kitchen

Scrumptious comfort food recipes for one are created in my small 1960s kitchen. I learned to cook Shepherds Pie in England and Classic Marinara while living in Italy. Born in Southern California and raised in the Midwest, my cooking represents the best of both regions with an added touch of Southern hospitality.
