To those who know me, they know I am a foodie and I talk a lot about food. But only a handful of them knows that I am also a home chef. Yep, I really chef it up at home, occasionally producing some fancy meals that are right on par with gourmet restaurants.
My kitchen - is TINY! So my mis-en-place (new word, thanks for Kitchen Confidential by Tony Bourdain, my soul mate) is limited but I am proud to have things like a good knife (Wustoff), truffle oil, fresh herbs from my kitchen garden, 10+ different kinds of spices, and an excellent (but slow) sous-chef - Nathan, my boyfriend in-residence. We have cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 10, 5-course Christmas dinner for 4, and some really really delicious gourmet meals on a nightly basis.
I have kept a recipe book that hopefully one day, I will pass it down to my grandchildren. But I am going high-tech - posting recipes/creations/masterpiece of a thing I love the most - food.
Bon Appetite!
