Learning About Food and Cooking

Hi there, my name is Monique Darwin. Welcome to my website about food and cooking. When I was a youngster, I loved to spend time in the kitchen with my mom and grandpa. From these two influential individuals, I learned how to bake, fry and broil foods with the best of them. I also learned about the importance of buying local and using as much as you can of meat and produce before it spoils. On this site, I would love to help others learn about these topics in great detail. Thanks for visiting my site. I hope to see you again soon.
