I'm a 25 year old girl exploring all that my new life in Flushing has to offer. I love to cook and share my love in the kitchen. Much of my recent cooking adventures have some Asian influence as I have the pleasure of the most amazing access to fresh fish and other interesting ingredients. My life is full of food, smiles, friends, music and, most of all, love. I live with a boy, a poodle and a giant schnauzer who are the beneficiaries of most of my culinary explorations.

Among other things, I plan to post recipes of dinners I make and enjoy. My recipes are never an exact science, just a result of playing around in the kitchen. I have no culinary training besides what I learned sitting at the counter in my parents' kitchen and through my slightly scary obsession with the Food Network. I definitely don't profess expertise. So enjoy and do what you will - hope to inspire and share. Please feel free to email me at caitlin@chezcaitlino.com if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them for you!

This blog is really basic right now, but I hope to find some time to ameliorate it. Stay posted :-).
