Bienvenidos and Welcome Readers!

Wow!  I am pretty darn excited about my shiny, new blog, To Cook is To Love.  Pretty spiffy isn’t it?  Sleek and stylish, warm and inviting. Hop in and let’s take her for a spin!

To Cook is to Love is high performance, fully loaded with lots of great features and gadgets, and she can do 0 to 60 words per minute with no mistakes.  Now that I’ve settled in behind the wheel it feels quite comfy and the view of the road ahead is open and wide!

I’m itching to get out there on the information superhighway and feel the wind in my fingertips as the megabytes fly by.  I’ve been hearing lots about blogs for several years now and I’ve visited quite a few, but I never imagined I’d actually have one of my very own.  It’s a new world and a new life with adventures untold awaiting me.

My strategy guru Rachel is the one that got me interested in this as she is one of the original bloggers on the planet and she’s been tooling around in one of her many blogs, www.rachelsdatingdiary.com for years.  She told me to just start in and let it rip. So I’m taking her advice and here goes!

I’m using my new blog to pimp my business Mucho Gusto Inc., and my new cookbook, To Cook is To Love, that I just completed and that will be published soon. To Cook is To Love is a combination cookbook and memoir that the captures the essence, flavors and magic of old world Cuba, and brings new techniques and ingredients into the kitchens of adventurous home chefs!  Going forward I’ll be sharing tidbits of info about Mucho Gusto, Inc. — we get to do lots of interesting things — a fabulous personal party chef service for your next event and a small business consulting practice centered on coaching and management support services and delivered in a low-key, casual manner.

I also be sharing my favorite recipes, cooking techniques, my podcasts, stories about my volunteer work, and updates on my culinary adventures and international travels to places like Cuba and Puerto Rico.  And, as I’m an avid reader of anything I can get my hands on I’ll also be recommending books that you might be interested in.

Muchas Gracias, Mucho Gusto y Buen Provecho!!!
