Hi everyone, I live in the North East LA area and recently became a member of the Culinary Historians of Southern California, which I think automatically gave me access to this forum. Since I enjoy all things having to do with food, including baking as hobby (everything from cheesecakes to bread), trying new restaurants and as many types of foods as possible, and learning about food history, I expect to thoroughly enjoy this forum and look forward to meeting others with similar interests.
