I love to cook! Unfortunately, I also love to eat my cooking. My grandmother used to say that she would like to cook in the kitchen of a big hotel. I feel the same way, but I think it would also be nice to own the hotel. I have included a few of my favourite rcipes in these pages, but I have many more, some of which I will add as time allows. Since I live in a fishing village, we eat a great variety of seafood, and I have included several extra special seafood recipes. If you have any questions, please email me.
