I find a huge importance in eating well.  It’s one of the simplest pleasures we can have on a daily basis, without a huge effort.  WF’s definition of eating well doesn’t mean salad and steamed vegetables. Au contraire-it’s about finding the right balance that works for you.  Eating foie gras everyday wouldn’t be a good thing as much as i would love to. Two days in a row is even pushing it, not to say i haven’t done it before.

All year round, a variety of foods and greens are available to us at local farmers markets and grocery stores.  Much of this is taken for granted, especially when we live in a city with such abundance.  Ironically, most people i know eat lunch at their desk in front of a computer and get takeout for dinner.  We spend an average of 50+ hours a week working to pay rent or mortgage on a home we don’t use to its fullest extent, i.e. the fully-equipped kitchen that doesn’t do more than make coffee and toast.  cooking at home can be easy and healthy, but don’t get us wrong-  this is not a health magazine.  WF loves butter and ice cream and real sugar but strongly believes in eating as few processed items as possible. 

I tend to cook in a haphazard style.  I don’t follow recipes super closely and i always excerise my right to improvisation.  I’ve been accused of being a secret chef.  People ask me for recipes of things they’ve eaten in my home and most times i don’t have one.  Or i’ve modifed the hell out of something. Or combined two recipes i have found online.  Anyways, i will attempt to record some of these dishes and be as accurate as possible.  I am only referring to savory foods.  sweets, baked goods, and pastries require much more precision.  there’s still room for experimenting but measuring accurately is important.  Most kitchen geeks can be divided into 2 camps, those who like to bake and those who like to cook savory items.

I’m a home cook that enjoys experimenting and entertaining, sometimes all at once.  when it comes to good food and the kind of life i aspire to live, i am constantly on the look out for new ideas and inspiration.  I take care of myself, whether it be working out, indulging in designer shoes, or eating gelato.
