Hello!

[lydro]

Hello. my name is Lydia. This my first time here and enjoy gourmet cooking. This forum is very educational.
I'm sure that I will enjoy it very much. I also like container gardening. It is a lot of fun (sometimes the fun come with mixed results as I not always get to harvest what I thought I had ordered from the nursery).

Welcome to Chef Talk, Lydia. You'll find something for the cook in you and the gardener as well. Connecting the kitchen with the growing things needed for good food is a frequent topic of discussion here.

Take a look at the cooking articles, recipes and cookbook reviews as well as these forums. If you're looking for something you don't see in the forums, try using the search feature to locate earlier conversations on topics you're interested in. Although the professional chefs' forums are read-only for home cooks like you and me, the rest of the board is open to all. We hope you'll return often to learn and share.

Enjoy! Regards,
Mezzaluna
