As owner of The Singing Cook, every day I am asked, “so does the cook sing?”  Why, yes, she does.  Do I sing when I cook? – Sometimes, and while singing is my first love, cooking is a close second.  As a self taught home cook with an ever expanding collection of cookbooks and on-again, off-again addiction to cooking shows, I often found myself running around town searching for that elusive ingredient for that new recipe I had to try.  In most instances I would either come home empty handed or with the closest substitute. I hope to eventually stock it with all those items that I could never find in my local grocers.
