No culinary experience. Watched a lot of Food Shows, and just enjoy cooking new things. I’m trucker, so most of my meals are made when I am home. I dabble in both my own creations as well as sharing some of the best from other recipes such as HelloFresh and online searches. Presentation, obviously, is all me.
