My love for cooking blossoms...how it all got started.


I was born and raised on the island of Trinidad and Tobago.  I grew up in a very diverse culture with a medley of different cuisines.  My mom was always cooking delicious things at home as far back as I can remember.  My dad also experimented in the kitchen and came up with his own spin on things.

I travelled a lot and learned a few things here and there about different types of food and have always been a fan of cooking shows.  Starting with Great Chefs of the World on the Travel Channel, which I watched every day after school and work.

When I got married and moved to Arkansas, I fell in love with my new family and their love for home cooking and great gatherings.  Those times coupled with my new found passion for cooking and the discovery of the Food Network led me to become a curious cook with a unique spin on the recipes. 

My husband Paul is my faithful, loyal and never failing companion.  He is my chief taste tester (now sous chef, he just got promoted) supports me in everything I do!  I love you babe!

Queenie is my beloved German shepherd and without her companionship our lives would be empty.  We love you Queen!

The best part of my cooking story is now I have an amazing son, who since he was a newborn sits in his high chair watching me cook everyday.  He is also a great eater and just started solids and is a curious little boy.  I cannot wait until he is also in the kitchen with me but behind the counter cooking along beside me :)
