About me: I've been vegetarian (~95% vegan) for over forty years. I love to make foods from scratch, including tempeh, tofu, seitan, wine, pickles, sourdough, pasta etc. and prefer such experimentation to actually putting a meal together. Having grown up sixty miles north of the US/Mexico border, I have a long and affectionate history with Mexican food. I love Indian and Caribbean flavors, but am somewhat daunted by the complexity of the spicing. Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese, hold sway over me because of their versatility, variety and exquisite flavors — there is always more to discover. I'm focusing primarily on Italian cooking lately, and playing with various ravioli fillings.
