I have two young boys, and my wife is at home. Most of the time, I will cook the food, and we'll eat together.

I fell in love with food because of my mother. So, I will definitely be sharing and expanding more recipes from my culture (as well as many other cultures), and will be sharing recipes that I have experienced from my whole culinary life.
