I am diversifying! Check out my new videos on some cooking techniques!

Hello all well I have caved and started posting some cooking videos, since the success of the Instagram pix I posted I felt that people want to know how to cook from "scratch"!  Believe me I can cook from scratch, been doing it all my life so why not share this knowledge with others? 

I started off with dried chick peas because they are so versatile, they can be eaten in a salad, with pasta or on their own in a sauce plus they are the base for hummus.  I like to use dried legumes because there are no preservatives, additives and no cans to throw away.  If we can all reduce our carbon footprint it will go a long way in helping this beautiful planet of ours be more sustainable, I for one, use very few cans of anything.  This is the first time in a long time that we have run out of our own processed tomatoes, I can guarantee this fall will not go by without making our 10 to 15 bushels of tomatoes into puree` for sauce!  That will also be a video to show how one day out of the year can make such a difference and the sauce can taste so good!  It is such a good feeling to open a mason jar and make dinner rather than a can or call for take out...  With 30 years food experience behind me I feel I have something to offer in the kitchen as well as the sewing room. 

Seems like I'm old or something, I started out in fashion, ended up in cooking and then went back to fashion just to keep things interesting LOL!
