I have always loved cooking for friends and family. I find it very soothing and therapeutic. At the end of the day I feel at peace while I pour a glass of wine and turn on the oven. For just a few moments I can just unwind and COOK! I am creating this blog for my friends and family to share ideas and to bring out the inner cook in everyone. Enjoy!~Ali
