About me
What a GREAT site and a bunch of GREAT friends, (cooks), to be associated with! Being the third generation from Grandfather Pasquale coming to America from Tuscany, and Grandmother Mary from Calabria I LOVE to cook! I grew up on a ranch in Northern California and both of my parents cooked, and it rubbed off on me, my brother, and sisters. At the ranch, Sunday was usually spaghetti with red sauce and my wife and I are keeping up the tradition. I now live in the high desert of Northern Nevada with a view of the rugged Sierra Nevada Mountains, but we're not isolated. Our own Whole Foods opened this past summer in Reno and with all the other great markets and deli's, my wife and I have all the fresh ingredients we need to enjoy cooking for ourselves, family and friends. And just over the mountains to the west is California with all the wine regions. From the Sierra foothills, to the Napa and Sonoma Valley's and Mendocino County on the rugged North Coast. Because we have a lot of sunny days here we keep the gas grill and the Weber close to the back door. And on those days of inclement weather, we have a beautiful kitchen with five burner gas cooktop, double ovens, and microwave. Enough talk, I think I'll go cook something! Pasquale
