The making of a Kitchen Vixen

Some people eat to live, but I've never been one of those people. I live to eat. I love good food and I love sharing it with friends and family. My obssession with cooking was started at a young age when I was always adding my own flavour to my mother's recipes. While she often shooed me out of the kitchen, I was smitten with the idea of creating new taste sensations-- an adventure that hasn't ended yet.
