Ottawa Foodies

here's a short one - i've got to go pick up the kids.
have always loved food - my mom's an awesome cook and i got my 1st cookbook when i was a about 8 so have been encouraged to explore cooking from an early age.
hate going to restaurants and having to pay for something that i could have made better. that being said, i love nothing more than having an exquisite meal filled with surprise combinations and fresh ingredients prepared for me. pure delight!
