Born and raised in Bermuda by a Bermudian father and an American mother. My father's family was from Indian so I have a strong and pure love for the food my grandmother used to make. While born in NY my mother's family have strong ties from Austria, Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia. My mother is also the reason for my present love of food. From as early as I can remember my mother has been putting amazing food on the table. From the elaborate breakfasts before we (my sister and I) went to school, to the lunch box meals that had all my friends jealous. My mother always provided us with delicious and healthy meals. While I may not have appreciated it as a child today, I know that without that upbringing I would not have even an inkling of the passion and patience to make the foods I make today.
My boyfriend, Paul, not to get too gushy is also my best friend and food companion. He had a very similar upbringing food-wise to me and as a result we are food fiends. Always thinking of how to improve a dish, and new food combinations he keeps me inspired when I could easily revert to the good and faithful classics.
