WELCOME TO FLORIDA GIRL COOKS!

December 25, 2008

Welcome to my new blog where I will share some of my favorite recipes with you along with some cooking tips. Whether you’re a cooking extraordinaire or a novice, I aim to bring you new global flavors and ideas that are sure to spice up your time in the kitchen. Whatever is posted here has been cooked and photographed by myself.

Also, everyone has their own way of cooking whether it is alone, with their loved one, or with family especially around the holidays. There is no right or wrong way, but one thing one must bear in mind is: EVERYONE CAN COOK. I know this is cliche as Remy in Disney’s Ratatouille comes to read in Chef Auguste Gusteau cookbook. As with anything in life, if you set your heart to something and you build the confidence enough within you, you can achieve anything.

The birth of this blog has come from the inspiration from the blogs of Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman and Deb Perelman from Smitten Kitchen. My passion for writing, cooking, and photography comes together to bring you, Florida Girl Cooks. The fact that I am writing this, my first post, on Christmas Day is simply because this is a gift I’ve wanted for so long and what better day and way to start then here and now! 

Tomorrow I will write about Williams Sonoma’s Peppermint Bark and how you can make your own for the holidays. Christmas is over but this tasty holiday treat can always be at your reach in only minutes! I hope everyone has had a sensational Christmas Holiday with their loved ones. Welcome to Florida Girl Cooks!
