Hello to everyone...
Just found these forums via google...
I started cooking about 5yrs ago and got the bug from a combination of business travel (eating at find dining places) and the freakin' FoodNetwork...
I have worked briefly as a wine-rep but have been cooking non-professionally for about 5 years, doing food/wine dinners for friends and family. Recently, I started catering family events as well.
I'm a noob by any strech and would love to act like a sponge here in order to soak up the vaulable information from those of you in who are the Pro's.
My passion is food and wine - when asked often by folks "Why don't you start your own restaurant" - I tell them "I'm worried if I did, that I'd no longer enjoy cooking as then it'd become a job"....
Can anyone here relate to that?
