| Introduction | After my partner said to me the other night that the cod dish I'd prepared was better than any restaurant meal he could have hoped for, I decided that I need to write down my feelings about preparing food from the recipes that I encounter. This blog is just about my experiences in everyday cooking of other people's recipes. I'm certainly not opposed to creating my own recipes and generally feel confident in doing so. But I'm just not one of those people who proudly claims, "Oh, I never follow a recipe!" Nor does everything I attempt meet with success the first time out of the box. I generally enjoy following and comparing others' recipes to learn about flavor combinations and techniques. When comfortable and confident I will certainly embellish as I see fit. Sometimes I'll follow a recipe to the letter (usually the first time out), but I'm certainly not opposed to substituting based on what I have on hand and making something my own if I get the gist of the recipe right off the bat. So, what you'll find here are my musings on preparing food for family and friends. I hope you'll join me on occasion and share your own impressions. So many recipes, so little time! |
