Let’s Dish With Linda Lou

Let's Dish With Linda Lou

Hello, thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of the world. I'm Linda Lou, a parent of a beautiful daughter named, Melissa. Melissa is currently continuing her education while living in Oakland, CA. I reside in Orlando, Fl., in a great neighborhood known as College Park. I learned how to cook at a very early age both by my mother who was from England and my grandmother who was of Sicilian descent. Both my mom and my grandmother had a major impact on how I approached cooking. Two very different types of cuisine yet both shine through in my recipes.
