"I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate." - Julia Child
I adore food, cooking, and coffee - served in very big cups. Growing up in the Deep South as a spoiled brat, I only learned to cook the "fun stuff." Of course, that meant desserts!
I compiled a family cookbook when I was in my 30's, but I really didn't know how to cook. (I typed that book on a TYPEWRITER!)
The family joke back then was, "Aunt Pam cooks a great salad." The review came from my adorable 10 year old nephew and his experience with my culinary skills.

When I hit the big 4-0, I realized that maybe it was time to learn to cook. Two good friends and lots of family were the lab rats to my trial runs of recipes. As long as I kept the wine flowing, there were few complaints about the food. Shortly after, I compiled another family cookbook; this one was titled, "Pam Actually Cooks." Emphasis on ACTUALLY.
Years later, I cook 2 meals a day, experiment with recipes, and play with food. I even organized many of my tried and true recipes this winter (June, July, and August in Uruguay). I also went through those two family cookbooks written years ago, added newer recipes from years since, and created a website: MissCookbook.com.
Please visit the site, have fun with the recipes, and put some love in that spoon! I can't guarantee that every recipe will be perfect, but it's all shared with joy and love.
