My name is Abigail. I love food. I love cooking it, eating it, reading about it, writing about it, looking at it, and dreaming about it. From an early age I was in the kitchen cooking with my grandmothers. When I was nine or ten I started taking cooking classes and loved them.
In 7th grade, I decided (with the persuasion of my mother) to teach my own cooking classes to younger kids in my small hometown. So, starting that summer I taught a four-day cooking class to 2nd-4th graders. I had so much fun that I did about a dozen more in the next two years. Included were Christmas classes, Thanksgiving classes, and I even taught a class that paid tribute to Kermit the Frog titled "It's Not Easy Being Green" during which I taught youngsters (5-6 year olds) how to cook a bunch of green foods.
A few years later as a high-school Senior, I self-published my first cookbook (that makes it sound like I have published more than one... I haven't. But I hope to one day) about my family's one-year odyssey around the country. It's called Tastes of the States. You could try looking it up but it may be hard to find. In which case you can always email me for a copy! Hint hint...
Just kidding.
I just graduated from college and am blessed to be finally pursuing my love of food. I just began classes at the Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts where I will learn various plant based cooking styles including macrobiotics, vegetarian, ayurvedic, raw and living foods, and vegan cooking... or as I tell most people: "healthy cooking."You will hear plenty of stories about my time there... some instructive others purely my reactions.
So for now, I will go to class, work, and spend as much time in the kitchen as possible and (hopefully) share with you my Food Whims; and thank God every moment that I get to spend all day in a kitchen and my free time telling the tales of it all.
Abigail
