Peek through the keyhole into my world. Find my opines, insights, and pans of the Culinary World and its quirky culture.
You will find links to some things I find worthy and interesting. I am certainly welcome to criticism, acclaim and general thoughts of others that share my interest.
Food is my idea of art.
The people that make it happen are some of the most creative people I know. They’re all amazing. I could spend forever waxing poetic about food and that’s why I created a blog.
I write about food, the people that make it and some of the folks that really need to stick (or not) to the stuff in the drive through. More important, I can and do cook. Although I was trained in the classic French Culinary Arts at Le Cordon Bleu, it is not the only trick up my Chef’s sleeve. Far from it.
Extended visits to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and other places planted the seed of culinary curiosity that would eventually define my life. I can’t say for certain if I chose it or it chose me. Forget the romance of the choice, it is the way I communicate with others. My craft skills feed the mind and soul of others. I good meal shared with others invites conversation. A good meal alone gives time to contemplate.
Eating is most certainly a sensual experience. The sight, aroma, sound, feel, and flavor of each bite is to be relished. Someone deprived of one or more of the senses is allowed a much higher appreciation of the remaining senses. Eat with a blindfold and ear protection and even the hated brussel sprout is fantastic.
So, I invite you to play along, share some thoughts and find out about what is on your plate.
