Any­one who knows me under­stands that I have a pas­sion for food…

Con­sum­ing it, sam­pling it, under­stand­ing the his­to­ry, the cul­tur­al influ­ences and tech­niques behind a giv­en meal dri­ves me to ulti­mate­ly attempt to recre­ate many dish­es myself.

I have a pas­sion for cook­ing deli­cious nour­ish­ing food that’s easy to cook with fresh nat­ur­al ingre­di­ents free from addi­tives or preser­v­a­tives. The easy healthy recipes you find here will inspire you to cook with pas­sion and creativity.

My Phi­los­o­phy and my story…

Noth­ing worth doing is easy, and noth­ing done with­out pas­sion is bor­ing.  One of the biggest hur­dles many peo­ple face with cook­ing is that they don’t under­stand that a recipe is only a guide­line (not in bak­ing, but cer­tain­ly in cook­ing).  Recipes only doc­u­ment the gen­er­al approach to prepar­ing, cook­ing and pre­sent­ing food.

Have you ever noticed that if you fol­low a recipe to the exact let­ter of the law you are like­ly to end up with some­thing that nev­er quite seems right?

The mechan­ics of the recipe are only a small part of the process…  Qual­i­ty ingre­di­ents, a lit­tle ad’lib, under­stand­ing the per­son­al­i­ties of your cook­ing devices and cer­tain­ly tech­nique and style add to a suc­cess; how­ev­er don’t ever for­get pas­sion and atmosphere.

Many of my friends and col­leagues con­tin­ue to ask me for my recipes and I am attempt­ing with this sec­tion to pro­vide them with those doc­u­ment­ed guide­lines — ***make sure you check out the nav­i­ga­tion links to the right for this section***
