Hi there, and welcome to my Blog! As you may have guessed from the title, there's a good chance we may be talking about food and cooking here. Just to get it out there, I'm not a chef, but I do love to cook and I love to learn about how to create awesome food at home. I'm a big fan of local ingredients, organic and sustainable products, and healthy living, but the #1 rule in my kitchen is that FOOD HAS TO TASTE GOOD. Am I a health food nut? Absolutely not. Do I freak out if I can't or don't use an organic or sustainable ingredient? No. I try to approach food from a practical standpoint. I use the best and freshest stuff I can, and then whip all that up into a tasty and memorable (or sometimes not...) meal.
This Blog is about trying new things and learning from your mistakes. Don't get discouraged if you screw up or end up having to order take-out because you massacred your masterpiece. If I had a nickel for every time I destroyed dinner, I'd be rich. Try to remember that cooking should be fun, and in my house it's a way to spend good quality time with my family. We talk about food and wine experiences that have been memorable to us, and there's just something about a warm, great smelling kitchen to really make one feel at home.
So, if you love to cook or just want to learn a few good recipes to impress your spouse or significant other, you've come to the right spot. If you see something you like, let me know. If you have suggestions for how to make or do something better, let's have it. And of course, if you have recipes to share, this is the place to do it. After all, I'm here to learn too, and I'm always open to constructive feedback. So with that, let's get to the good stuff. Fear not your kitchen, my friends!

This is a gret idea! Especially for me that my cooking skills are -10... Just shared it on fbk.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you, Lucero :) I'm sure we'll all get a little help from one another here, or at least get some good ideas out there. Thanks for commenting, thanks for sharing it on FB, and stay tuned for more good stuff!

So didn't see a location to comment on your poll. Mammalian Organ meat is what freaks me out. Liver, Tripe, Heart. Those items rank low and I generally won't go out of my way to obtain them.
ReplyDeleteSushi, Raw Oysters, Escargot... They all rank in my top 25, with Sushi alone at the summit. If you took sushi out of my life, just strip me of my taste buds, I would give up on eating all together. Just feed me enough gruel to keep me alive.
Hey there, Peter. Long time! I completely agree with you on the Mammalian organ meat. I see it on cooking shows or on menus here and there, I just don't think I have the mojo to try it just yet. Maybe some day. The other three are favorites, and I feel exactly the same about sushi. I could eat the stuff every day.
