I was born & raised mostly in the Vancouver area & now live in Coquitlam. My interests include; outdoor activities & being in nature, traveling, culture, music, history, & art. I enjoy being creative; making jewelry, decorating, fashion. I love people & animals, & especially adore children. Furthermore, I am interested in nutrition, holistic health & wellness. I am a food enthusiast & truly live to eat! I absolutely LOVE cooking & could spend all day in the kitchen! I am great at coming up with creative ideas & making tasty dishes. I like to cook mostly from scratch & make both healthy & comfort dishes. I have decent knowledge about food & health & make a point of reading labels in the store. I am an excellent shopper, great at working with a tight budget if need be, & have a skill with coming up with something out of nothing. I will definitely warm your heart with my soups, which is something I love making! I have a business in the healthcare field, that allows me to have a fairly flexible schedule.

I absolutely LOVE to cook!!! I would be happy being in the kitchen all day! I have over 25 years of at home cooking experience, have been told I am a great one & definitly have a nack for it. I have been cooking since I was kid & learned mostly at home from my mom & the other women in my family. I have no offical training or certification; however I have spent many years in the service industry, even working in fine dining restaurants, where I have learned a lot about food. This allowed me to pick up ideas & techniques to use in my own kitchen. I do a lot of cooking at home here & enjoy making health forward meals, especially from scratch. Of course there is a time for comfort food too! I am great at makein homeade soups, healthy bowls & salads, veggie dishes, meats, stews, stirfrys, pasta, you name it!
