Hello and welcome to my food blog. This is the place where I express all of my experiences (or the lack thereof), love, and the desire to learn and share everything about food with you. I love food!
I not only love to try new foods or just simply eat, I love to cook as well. I enjoy talking about it, working with it, photographing it, and writing about it. In my opinion food brings people together and tells the history of a culture. I collect and read tons of cook books, baking books, and of course cake decorating books. I can look at recipes and envision the process. I try out new restaurants and have become a patron of the ones I’ve frequented over the years. I write and talk about food. I try to capture pictures of anything which is gastronomically related. I am really into the Food Network and when I have the time, I watch it religiously. I also own a cake decorating business. I’m growing it slowly, one cake at a time. Most importantly, I want to make sure I don’t get in over my head and lose my passion for the art. I find that one of the most devastating things is turning something you thoroughly enjoy into a business and then losing that spark. It’s a terrible thing.
My idols are my grandmother, Julia Child, Nigella Lawson, and Collette Peters.
So yes, I love it ALL.
If it is A Matter of Food ™, I am there.
I invite anyone and everyone who loves food or is in the food industry to share your experiences, dreams, and ambitions. I welcome horror stories of working in restaurants’ kitchens or aspirations of becoming a chef and great success stories. I hope you’ll enjoy sharing this experience with me. I encourage you to share your own experiences. Comments, suggestions, and any constructive feedback on my posts are welcome!
Please keep the language clean!
Thank you.
