My husband finally convinced me to start a blog. I’m not really big on writing. I like to express myself through my cooking. But here goes…
I thought it would be a good idea to start off talking about my approach to creating in the kitchen. While I love looking through cookbooks and finding new recipes, I almost never cook from a recipe, except when I’m doing baking or pastry where the ingredient proportions make a big difference to the result.
What I’m usually looking for is an interesting combination of ingredients and spices that I can build from. A theme, if you will. Then I take that theme and add my own spin on it. The process is a lot of trial and error, but eventually I end up with something classic that also has my personal stamp on it.
