I LOVE TO COOK! I also love to eat. I think the two go hand in hand. If I hadn’t chosen to be an attorney and writer, I think I would have loved to be a chef. As it is, and when time allows which lately is not often, I can spend hours making a meal.
I’ve imagined the ideal situation where I could combine all those talents — like running a bed and breakfast that caters to writers. I’d teach classes during the day and prepare awesome food for breakfast and dinner (sorry — you’d be on your own for lunch!)
For those of you who like to cook as well, here are some recipes that are tried and true. I hope you will try one of them and if you do, let me know what you think! You can also find these recipes and some free reads in Recipes for the Romantic Soul which is free on Kindle Unlimited.
