| Introduction | A california girl living on cape cod w/ a tiny outdated kitchen where I create kicked up/creative recipes. Some recipes my own, some recipes not, but always striving to boost the flavor, the texture up a notch (or three). I first started this blog over three years ago in a 50 s.f. galley kitchen in an old antique rental in the historic village of Sandwich, MA where there was only 30 year old gaggenau oven with issues, two functioning gas burners, and a refrigerator in my living room. Now I create recipes in a regular kitchen. What drives me to create? I see dishes in restaurants, meals created on TV, recipes in cookbooks and online, and I always think to myself why didn’t they add this or why did they leave out that? I love to question, love to research, and love to learn about combining different flavors and textures in recipes; which leads me to the kitchen to recreate or create—however you food-o-sophically look at it. |

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?
