I have always enjoyed my food and eating makes me content, for those who know me well I am probably stating the most obvious. Although I have never been qualified as a chef or cook, that honour is most undoubtedly my fathers, as it was he, as well as my mother, who worked themselves to the bone, and especially my fathers cooking career, which took him to the pinnacle of some of Melbourne's finest restaurants over nearly four decades, that I am truly indebted, and is where I get my true passion for the culinary arts, so to speak. Over many years I have engaged in the art of dinner parties, cooking at home, cooking for my friends and sometimes colleagues, wanting to see happy faces and contented stomachs, fulfilled entirely in the fact that there really isn't anything better than having lovely people around to share some wonderful food, conversation....... and music. “Playing with food” was my first cookbook, Italian Cooking (also with original 11 track music cd) in 2006, The Age Newspaper ( Melbourne) wrote..... ”a book to dine for”..... which led inspiration to my next, “Music to Dine for” (cookbook and original 17 track music cd) which was published in December 2008. My next Cookbook/Cd is due for release in 2010. Mark Zocchi from Brolga Publishing has been integral in getting my work published to the public domain.
