Born in New Zealand, and raised on a farm. I had pet pigs, sheep and all the usual suspects. IE: cats and dogs and guinea pigs. I climbed trees, rode on tractors, cooked, had fights with my brothers, all the things you do on a farm. I grew up in a simple household where we made and produced all our food. That is where I learnt to cook, to sew, to garden and do many other things.
Just cooking in my kitchen.
