When I was little, I had a kid's baking book with a ton of cookie recipes. I must have made every cookie in that book at least once, and some several times, because I liked the feeling of making something delicious out of individual ingredients that were not "food" on their own.
Since then, I have gone through phases of baking, cooking, and not baking or cooking, but I have recently come back to cooking. After years of experimenting with cooking and baking with less than desirable results, in the last year my passion for cooking has made itself known
, and I have become more able to determine what will taste good with what. I am nowhere near being a Great Cook, but I think I'm a Good Cook, at least.
And it's not just how food tastes that appeals to me - it's everything about it - putting different ingredients together, all the little decisions that you make when you're creating a meal, how you cook it, how it smells, how it feels in your mouth, how it looks.
The looks are what got me really going, I think, because I've been posting my food pictures on facebook for a few months now, and more and more I'm getting comments asking for recipes and whatnot.
So, I decided to put everything up here, on a blog, to make it easier to share with everyone.
So here's what I've been eating. It's mostly experimental, and I'll try to comment on how each dish turned out and what I would do differently the next time, and if you have suggestions or comments, I would love to hear them!
