The idea for this blog spawned from reading many of the food blogs out there. My main inspiration is the Smitten Kitchen blog. I love how she combines photography and food. So I started thinking, I love both those things, why don’t I put the recipes I love on-line to share with those that might be interested? So … I am.
I feel like I try to expand my horizon when it comes to food and recipes, and this is the place to share that passion. I would like to think I am perfect at every recipe, but alas, the food is it’s own at the end of the day. Some good, some bad, and some that needed to be done differently. So if you are looking for culinary genius, you should keep on looking.
My palate tends to enjoy the sweeter things in life, but I do have a passion for entertaining. I am a chocoholic and I don’t try to deny it. I come from a long line of “sweet tooths” that steal bits from the kitchen every chance they get. I watched all the women in my family put succulent creations on the table and it just kind of caught on with me.
To learn about a subject, one has to start with history, even if it is boring and mundane. The first recipes ever recorded were from the Egyptians, which used hieroglyphics to depict how something should look after being prepared, but it wasn’t until Roman times that people began putting recipes in written form. So it makes sense that blogging merges both the pictured and the written form of a recipe.
So, I hope you enjoy my recipes, and the recipes that have been given to me by those whom I love and also love cooking with. Bon appetite!
