I am the mother of three boys, who are currently 8, 5 and 3 years old, and married to a wonderful chef.  My husband thankfully loves to cook when home which, unfortunately, is not often.  I work from home in a completely unrelated industry but started waitressing at 18 and worked in restaurants in two countries for over 12 years as a bartender, waitress and manager.  In 1997 I got out of the restaurant business except helping out in one we co-owned and bartending here and there.  My husband has taught me many tricks in the kitchen to make cooking easier- especially timing everything.  I like to experiment sometimes with combinations and recipes too.

I am very interested in nutrition but I don’t always agree with the science, I think there’s more there than deconstructing the whole food into vitamins and minerals.  I think we need the whole and not just the parts.    I also care deeply about the environment.  All of this combined makes me want to teach my children to eat well, enjoy food and to be conscious of the impact of what/how you eat.  That said, I want my kids to have a healthy attitude about eating, not to fear it or be obsessed about it.   I think that others can do the same and I thought if I share my experiences she/he/they will see it’s not such a daunting task… especially all those vegetables!

I hope to inspire not to preach. 

Let me know!
