Food is my life. I am obsessed with cooking, tasting, sharing and nourishing. My motto: simple is best.
I have always been surrounded by wonderful food. My childhood memories are filled with recollections of watching my mother and grandmothers cook, while I peeked over tabletops or gazed intently from atop step stools. Nothing can evoke a memory more powerfully than a smell, and a single smell can be tied to a thousand memories. Of Mom’s spaghetti sauce slowly simmering in her large cast iron pot on countless Friday nights; of making gravy in Grandma M's kitchen, amid the wonderful, homey smells of roast beef and just-beginning-to-perk coffee; of Grandma S’s baked lima beans, which were ever-present at our wonderful Thanksgivings in Haliburton. It's without surprise that I attribute my love of food to these wonderful ladies, and it's to them that I dedicate my efforts.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it. At the very least, I hope it makes the daily ‘what’s for dinner?’ query a little easier to answer, and allows you to make the most of your time in the kitchen.
