I grew up in many houses. They shared little in common, but one consistent element was the smell of good food being cooked.
Cooking is a pursuit that I hope will be constant in my life. If you ever want to know how I’m doing, ask me what I’ve cooked recently. If I’m excited about my culinary explorations, I’m probably excited about life itself.
Here are some photos I’ve taken of some tasty dishes I’ve cooked over the years.
Bon Appetit!
