Hey there! I’m Carleen. I am so tickled that you have visited my little site! My sincere hope is that you take away a little something that will make your life in the kitchen and around the dinner table a little easier, a little more fun and filled with a little more love.
I have had a love for food and cooking as long as I can remember and have always loved sharing with others the most. I am an amateur “home cook” who dreams of becoming a real live chef one day, but I have also had the amazing privilege of being asked to do cooking demonstrations on television (shout out to Christine Gardner in Tyler and Kopi and Kim on FOX 26 in Fresno… hey y’all!), in the Taste Kitchen at my favorite local grocery store (That’s me doing that very thing in the picture to the right) and have given lots of cooking lessons to friends.
My life’s journey has taken place in the great states of Texas and California, with lots of other lovely places visited. Each place has impacted my love of, and experience with, food profoundly. Throw in my fascination with the science of food, wine and methodology, and you get a girl who can’t stop talking about it once she starts. So, I have been told I should write about it. And here I am. Living the dream. Eek! 🙂
So thank you, thank you, thank you for visiting Love By Food! I’m so glad you dropped by! Cheers!
