About the Author

Hello,

I'm Larry, the Webmaster, of this site. Well, co-webmaster actually...my wife Karen has also contributed her technical skills helping to make this website what it is today.

All my life I have been surrounded by good cooks. My father was an excellant chef who volunteered to cater large events at the local Elks Club. My grandmother was also an excellant cook who wrote nothing down, instead she kept all her recipes in her head but I will always remember her for her Spritz cookies and fantastic brownies.

And I had a series of girlfriends and roommates who taught me quite a bit about cooking. Of course I can't forget to mention my wife, Karen, who has had the most impact on my cooking skills by helping me to slow down, pay attention to detail and refine my technique.
This is a picture of Karen, and me in a sailboat on Long Island Sound, taken shortly after moving back to Connecticut from Corrales, New Mexico.

I taught myself how to cook when I was 8 or 9 because I was fascinated with how the combination of a few ingredients could produce such tasty results. And as an American boy in the mid 1960's, learning to cook was not exactly encouraged.

Each culture or ethnic group has it's own specialty dishes arising from tradition and the available supply of certain foods. My family was no exception; we celebrated each major holiday with a leg of lamb stuffed with garlic and for Christmas Eve we had Scandinavian 'lutefisk' which is a jellied, boiled codfish (processed with lye, of all things) with boiled potatoes, Coleman's hot mustard and the everpresent hard tack (Wasa cracker).

Now I'm a Webmaster, the author of a site about cooking, a passion of mine.

I have always wanted my own website but lacked the knowledge to do it. That is until I found Site Build It. I cannot recommend or praise this product enough.

Building a website completely on my own would have been impossible. Even if I managed to get past the design and writing stage by reading books and learning HTML I would not have known about structuring pages by keywords or how to track the success of the work I had done. Site Build It provides volumes of tutorials and overwhelming support helping you build a website properly.

You are still responsible for picking a topic, structuring it and writing but you are taught how to do it... not to mention all the tools at your complete disposal such as HTML block builders, link exchange programs, auto mailback responders, website traffic analysis, keyword analysis and ratings, form builder modules, spider reports, RSS feed modules and tutorials on monetization which includes affiliate programs and integrating Google AdSense.

And we can't forget about traffic building tutorials such as specialty hubs, 2nd tier directories or Search Engine indexing...

Sound complicated? It is, and this is only a very short list of what Site Build It provides you. Site Build IT teaches you everything you need to know and automatically submits your pages to the major search engines. I cannot praise them enough... If you are even remotely interested in building your own website I suggest you check out Site Build It - just click on the 'Site Build It' graphic for more information.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy our site.
