My Story
Hi, my name is Tina and for as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed cooking and being in the kitchen. I really have no formal training in cooking and despite the really cute name of my website. I’m actually not a chef.
While I may not have graduated from some great culinary school, I got my start at an early age in the kitchen of my Italian Mama. I often watched and did not ask too many questions in the kitchen but, I learned that the most important ingredient in any dish is LOVE.
