I LEARNED TO COOK AND BAKE AT VERY YOUNG AGE- HELPING MY MOTHER IN THE KITCHEN.  NOW, ALL THAT PRACTICE HAS PAID OFF.  I NOW HAVE THE TIME AND THE SKILLS TO REALLY HAVE FUN!  SEVERAL OF THE FOLLOWING RECIPES ARE PRIZE WINNERS AT THE SAN MATEO COUNTY FAIR.  I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS WE DO.
