What I'm all about

A Bit about me and what my Blog is all about.

Everyone Who knows me knows I am in love with food. I have had a passion for food and cooking since I was very young. Growing up I watched more FoodNetwork than cartoons.

 My Passion for cooking grew as I learned to cook from my parents and by watching cooking shows. In my early teens I fell in love with the science behind baking; But soon turned to cooking. I took several cooking classes and got to pick out my first chef's knife for my 15th birthday. I made a hobby out of reading cook books and attempting my favorite recipes in my spare time. I have always been lucky in my parents support of my passion for food and their wonderful cooking to learn from.

 At the Age of 16 I started working at Nugget Market which is a locally own Grocery store chain, it has been called the Disneyland of grocery stores before. Growing up in a small town I had never been exposed to many gourmand cooking items.

 I now work as a Cheese monger in the Specialty cheese Department. Having the opportunity to work with the executive chef of the company to create recipes for my work, which was an amazing experience.  Needless to say I have been spoiled by my work, Though when it comes to cooking at home I have a much tighter budget. Not always having the money to drop on unique and gourmand ingredients, I have learned to use what I have and improvise with what I don't. This Blog is all about my adventures in cooking on a budget and sometimes way over my budget. At times my recipes are a bit of everything left over in the fridge put into one dish; Other times I will have a bit extra to create some of this recipes I think up while I am at work.

I love trying new approaches to recipes, Weather that means trying to make them a bit healthier or just put my own spin on it.

I look forward to sharing my success and failures in my adventures of cooking and creating wonderful food.

Serenely,

Angel
