Introduction I am a home cook, not a chef. I have been chopping onions and garlic, cooking from scratch and putting food on the table for family and friends for about 50 years. I agree with Slow Food USA that the food we eat should be "good, clean and fair". That said, I am not a food Nazi. We all have enough stress in our lives without worrying about whether every bite we eat is politically correct. We are each at a different place in our food journey. I am here to help you along the way. Eating well is a pleasure we can have every day with really very modest expenditure of time and money. If you follow me on this blog, we will have some fun together. And you will impress your family and friends and even yourself with your increasing confidence - and competence - in the kitchen!
