Food Enthusiast
I always loved to eat and food was my favorite playground. I experimented often, playing around with texture and taste, savoring each unlikely combination. Food was that warm, cozy place I would go to whenever I needed comfort and an escape from childhood and teen woes. As an adult, the simple act of cooking and baking is therapy for me, relieving stress and tension and while baking or cooking I can focus my thoughts and think through my problems and everything going on in my life. The kitchen is where I am happy and find calmness, serenity and answers while preparing things from my heart to make those I love happy. And I just love to eat.
