Reviewed Easy Cranberry and Apple Cake
"Outstanding........and the very first recipe from her new book "How Easy Is That"? that I made. Ina clearly comes through time after time. It was worth the 2+ hours I stood in line to greet her once again. And, both she and Barbara remembered me from the last book signing in San Francisco. Ina rocks.............."

Reviewed Apple Turnovers
"Outstanding and so easy to prepare. I've made this many, many times, and have used multiple fillings, in addition to Ina's original apple and cherry recipe. Perfection everytime. I also dress them up a little with a nice icing drizzled across the top.

Reviewed Pecan Squares
"Absolutely delicious every time I make them, which by the way, is quite frequently. I also drizzle chocolate in a decorative pattern over the squares, as opposed to dipping one end, so that the chocolate is shared more generously with the entire bar. Another winner for sure.
Reviewed Banana Crunch Muffins
"Superb. Every time I make these, they get rave reviews. I've gotten creative and added in some cranberries, pure white chocolate chips and other nuts. Each version comes out perfectly.
Reviewed Parker's Beef Stew
"Absolutely perfect. I've made and love Ina's Beef Bourguignon many times, and found the wine in this stew worked magic with both the beef and all of the vegetables. My Irish friends raved about this as well!
About Me
I could best be described as "The Spicy and Nutty Willy Wonka", a corporate sales and marketing executive from the spice, nut and chocolate industries. After cooking my way through college, and then wearing the corporate suit for many years, I've realized that I'd rather embrace a pressure cooker in the kitchen as oppossed to the one in the boardroom.
Favorite Foods
Anything and everything related to great, signatuare chocolate. I love french cuisine,especially the breads and pastries, but also adore hot and spicy cooking as well. My favorites tend to be good, old fashioned comfort foods.....macaroni and cheese, beef bourguignonne, savory meatloaf, roasted chicken, cassoulet, bread pudding, fresh fruit desserts, carrot cake, etc............ but crafted with unique and updated techniques and ingredients.Advertisement
