The purpose of this site is to provide a platform for me to share with you my approach to good food and healthy dining. I offer my culinary perspective through recipes and stories, and as a means of staying connected to family and friends as though we were sharing a meal together around our dining table. Finally, it is a way of meeting new people who share my interest in good healthy food and eating well.

I never view cooking as a chore because it is fun for me to do the research, and then develop and prepare the dishes I write about and like to eat.

Food doesn’t have to be elaborate or complicated to be good. The best part of cooking at home every day is that over time the dishes you prepare will be less expensive and better for you than meals you will find at most restaurants.

If you are able to learn something new to try in your kitchen, improve upon something you are already doing, or simply eat better healthier meals, then this site will have served its purpose.

Don’t try to cook for the taste of others, trust your own! Step out of the crowd!

Eat well • Drink well • Be well
