I obsess over Heston Blumenthal's Steak with Blue Cheese Infused Butter and Mushroom Ketchup which he serves with a simple tomato and iceberg lettuce salad. Someday when I have two days, a blow torch and the best two bone prime rib in the world I WILL make it...until then I'll make this. —inpatskitchen

I think I get my love for food and cooking from my mom, who was an amazing cook. She would start baking and freezing a month before Christmas in order to host our huge open house on Christmas afternoon. I watched and I learned...to this day I try not to procrastinate when it comes to entertaining.
My cooking style is pretty much all over the place, although I'm definitely partial to Greek and Italian cuisine. Oh yes, throw a little Cajun in there too!
