My name is Debra aka known as MS. Deb, I am a self taught cook/ chef, with the skills of my Mom's teaching, I must admit my mom blessed me with her culinary gifts. I specialize in Homemade cuisine with "A Soul Food style and flare". I am 53 years young, emphasis on young. I HAVE A PASSION AND DESIRE TO STAY IN A KITCHEN DREAMING UP NEW AND EXCITING RECIPES! It's like your palates are the canvas and my food is the paint!! I've been cooking since I was a little girl. I have a family of four children, 3 sons and 1 daughter, and 5 granddaughters that I adore. My kitchen is always filled with delightful smells and aromas. So take a walk with me on this journey of good eating and remember, food is nutrition not only to the stomach, but also its comforting to the mind and body, and it soothes the savage beast.
