Personal Information
Willing To Relocate: Anywhere
home cooking, and an avid food network watcher
I have an addiction for cooking for my family and fiance. I constantly have dinner parties where i invite friends and family for 3 course meals usually followed by a nice dry red wine. I also love watching food network shows on my free time. So much so, i wanted to apply to one of the competitive shows myself.
