About Culinary Barbie


I'm Jenny, just a girl who loves to cook and loves to eat. I enjoy fresh, organic and seasonal ingredients, but have been known to splurge every now and again. Here I'll be tracking the recipes that I have made so that I can keep a record of what works and what doesn't.

My husband, Forrest, also loves to cook, but lets me take the reigns most of the time.  I started teaching myself to cook when we began dating in college.  Fortunately, the quickest way to a man's heart really is through his stomach.  I love reading cookbooks, cooking memoirs, cooking blogs, cooking magazines... well... you get the drift!  While I would love to go to culinary school, educating myself is just as fun! 

My favorite thing to do is bake and I love chocolate.  Italian is my favorite cuisine and I could live on cheese alone! 

My Food Rule
Eating a well balanced diet of organic & healthy whole foods as close to their natural state as possible allows me to eat everything I want in moderation.
