about

Why a compass? Because everywhere I've been and everywhere I want to go influences my cooking. I grew up in the American Midwest, lived in the West and Southwest, traveled and ate in Europe and Asia and loved it all. It has resulted in an eclectic style and a desire to try more! I am self-taught, starting back in the old days of Saturday morning cooking shows on PBS. I am currently living in beautiful New Mexico, and love to put a Southwestern spin on classic dishes.

I love to cook for my family and friends.  My favorite phrase is "food is love!"
