Too tired or busy to cook for your family? Are your meals take-out, frozen, or microwave? Are you tired of having the same foods over and over? Let me cook for you! You can choose from a huge variety of delicious authentic and unique meals.
Why
go to a restaurant, when my cooking has been described as 5-star restaurant quality! You will enjoy better, healthier, and less
expensive food--prepared while you relax in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
I will also happily give lessons to beginners--whether you're going off to school, on your own, recently retired, intrigued by all those cooking shows--or to anyone who wants to improve their skills. I will teach you how to prepare better-than-restaurant-quality meals that are healthier and less expensive. My food preparation is simple and approachable, and lets you taste the food you're eating.
To spice up your cooking, I have 9 varieties of premium crushed-pepper sauces and hot sauces! All are gluten-free and fully natural with no extracts, no artificial colors, and no
preservatives! Just loads of fresh, spicy flavor!
Use these great sauces on ice cream, hot chocolate, brownies, corn bread, pizza, fish, meats, salads, eggs, and any other food you want to spice up!
- Mango Habanero (mild--heat level 1) $7.99(+ shipping outside local area)
This
"slightly hot" sauce combines fresh, ripe Mangoes and Habanero Peppers
with other ingredients, resulting in outstanding flavor! Put this on your ice cream!
- Garlic Habanero (mild--heat level 2) $7.99 (+ shipping outside local area)
Milder than the Original Habanero, but with plenty of garlic. This won a blue ribbon at the Islip Americana Fair on June 11!
- Smoky Chipotle (mild--heat level 3) $7.99 (+ shipping outside local area)
Nice and smoky, with crushed Chipotle and Habanero peppers. You'll love it on chicken, turkey, and more!
- Jalapeno (med--heat level 4) $7.99 (+ shipping outside local area)
Combines crushed Jalapeno peppers with onion, fruit juices, and garlic, for a wonderful flavor! This is a favorite of many!
- Original Habanero (hot--heat level 6) $7.99 (+ shipping outside local area)
Hot, but not too hot! Great for all-around use!
- Roasted Habanero & Garlic (hot--heat level 7) $8.99 (+ shipping outside local area)
Combines roasted habanero peppers, roasted garlic, apple vinegar, passion fruit juice, and lemon juice for a unique flavor experience. This well-rounded sauce is my personal favorite!
- Fiery Habanero (very hot--heat level 8) $7.99 (+ shipping outside local area)
Same as Original Habanero, with added heat from crushed Ghost Peppers (Naga Jolokia).
- Red-Hot Savina (extremely hot--heat level 9) $7.99 (+ shipping outside local area)
Combines Red Savina and Ghost peppers with lots of great flavor! This will satisfy almost anyone's need for heat. (Red Savina peppers were the hottest variety of Habanero peppers, until the Naga Jolokia was discovered.)
- Extreme Ghost Pepper (Extremely Hot! -- heat level 10) $8.99 (+ shipping outside local area)
This super-hot sauce is SO hot, you'll want to use it sparingly! Contains over 50% Ghost Pepper, and NO extracts! Put a couple drops on your burger, or a whole bowl of soup!
Do you frequently suffer from the "stomach virus" or "24-hour flu?" I can conduct a food safety and sanitary review of your kitchen, to help you prevent these common illnesses.
