about me

I am a seafood fanatic and am always eager to experiment with new dishes. I love exotic flavors from around the world. I think that seafood pastas are my specialty.
I haven't eaten meat for nearly ten years and have therefore developed quite a repertoire of vegetarian and seafood based dishes. I also cook for a meat-loving boyfriend who is open-minded but not entirely on board with what he calls "hippy food", so I love the challenge of creating healthy food that tastes really good.
I try to be aware of where and how my ingredients are produced. I try to cook in season but I am especially concerned with the sustainability and purity of the seafood that I use. Check out the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch for regional guides to buying seafood responsibly (see my web sit below).
I have many original recipes that I improvise but I am trying to nail down measurements and cooking times in order to publish on zaar.
