I cook traditional recipes that have been passed down through multiple generations. Some recipes date back to the pre- Civil War era from the Charleston, SC area. My ancestors claim heritage from Britain, Ireland, and France. I use mostly organic ingredoents and traditional cooking tools and methods. This helps me get into my ancestors' mindset and connects me to their way of life.
