| Introduction | Extensive cooking and travel in Europe, the Mid East, and the Far East changed my palate and concepts of pairings and presentation. Good cooking friends and a background in Biology and Chemistry give me a pretty good idea of how to hit a target preparation. I love cooking on the fly, whether to make a complex set piece or a minor culinary miracle out of what's on hand. |
| Interests | my hobbies usually require serious thought and simple equipment: chess, origami, cartooning. I am the cook in my family; I know what I like to eat, and I like to experiment. This website contains some highs (beet dumplings), lows (burnt salmon) and interestings (fractal cheese). Please enjoy... |
| Favorite movies | Favorite food scene is in Country Man, when the fisherman feeds them after the plane crash. |
| Favorite music | Cooking music should be bouncy. It should chop, saute, whisk, keep you moving. |
| Favorite books | Terry Pratchett is my favorite author. He is definitely sensitive to the importance and cultural nuance of food ("No one makes a knuckle sandwich like your Ma") |
