ABOUT ME
Hi there! I’m a self-taught cook with over 20 years of experience in feeding my family with delicious meals that are easy to make. I have a passion for creating new recipes and love nothing more than hosting events and preparing food and drinks for fun celebrations.
One of my greatest joys in life is coming up with unique drink recipes that will surprise and delight my friends. I spend plenty of hours in my kitchen testing out new combinations of flavors and experimenting with different ingredients until I come up with something truly special.
Despite my academic background in a completely different field – I have both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree – cooking has always been a major part of my life. I take great pride in my ability to create dishes that are not only delicious but also beautifully appealing.
Whether you need help planning a menu for a special event, want to learn a new recipe, or just need some inspiration in the kitchen, I’m always happy to share my knowledge and experience. With a passion for cooking and a talent for creating delicious meals and drinks, I’m confident that I can help make a truly wonderful dish.
AIR FRYER RECIPES
I simply love my air fryer(s). I actually have many! I love that my favorite recipes can be made quick with so little mess to clean up.
Game Day and Party Appetizers
I have plenty of air fryer chicken wings you’re friends will love. Try these classic Buffalo Wings, these tangy BBQ Chicken Wings or zesty Lemon Pepper Wings.
