I started by watching my Mom and Grandmother cook when I was eight or nine. On the kitchen counter I sat and watched them make tomato sauce, pasta, soups, veal, pork and so on. I remember finding it interesting and fun. A little bit of this and that. I started cooking when I was 18 years old. Since the age of 20, I've traveled annually to the USA and abroad and have always been intrigued by the recipes discovered.

Asparagus Soup
i made asparagus soup. this is my recipe.
2 lbs asparagus
4 leeks cut lengthwise and chopped. Remember to rinse the leeks well at least 4 times to remove the sand
1 onion chopped and quartered
3 cloves garlic quartered
32 oz chicken broth
½ stick butter
Salt and pepper
½ pint light cream
Melt the butter. Sauté the vegetables for ½ hour. Turn up the flame to low/medium, add the chicken broth and cook for an additional ½ hour. Then turn off flame and insert an immersion blender and blend until pureed. Turn on the flame to low and add in the light cream. Cook for about 10 min or until the soup is thickened.
Add parmesan cheese.
