My American Regional Cuisine experience comes in a rather traditional way. In the 37 years of my marriage I have moved 25 times. Even though I was born and raised in Canada I have lived the past 38 years in the United States. I have traveled from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and also from Canada down to the border of US and Mexico. We always drive and so I have traveled through 35 states, and 9 of the Canadian provinces.

I have cooked a lot of meals through the years for my family. What started as small and simple meals as I was a newlywed just learning to cook increased over the years to huge amounts of food being cooked for our 6 children, their spouses and our 11 grandchildren.

Everywhere we go I love to collect cookbooks! I love to sit and look at a great cookbook, books with pictures are always interesting, but I also like to just read recipes and see what other people put into their recipes.

I am fascinated by local food festivals and farmers markets and like to attend and sample the specialties of the region. I enjoy reading "Culinary Cozies", mysteries with a culinary theme. Let´s face it- food is great!

I hope you enjoy yourself with my column.
