Introduction

As a child, I was a picky eater. As I've grown, so has my taste in food, spreading to envelop new foods and new genres. While I'm still a little picky, I become more adventurous every day, and you could definitely say I have a love affair with food. Throughout my journey, I've even developed some food obsessions, such as garlic, leeks, dark chocolate, and potatoes, which you will no doubt see reflected here.

Significantly, my taste in consumables has also evolved to become significantly more healthful, as well. My girlfriend, Tessa, doesn't eat red meat or pork, and is intolerant of raw soy, so most of my cooking has been adapted to suit her dietary needs, as well as my severe peanut allergy and slight lactose intolerance.

This blog is meant to chronicle my culinary explorations as both a home cook and an eater, and as a means of sharing some of my favorite recipes with cyberspace.

Hey, I thought you said this was food!
