I love to eat. I am sure that most people probably say this, but really they are lying. I love every part of food, from going to the grocery store to cooking it to savoring each crumb on my plate. Really, food is my favorite extra-curricular activity and if I am not studying, then I am probably eating or thinking about it.
For a college kid, I have a highly refined pallet (ie: Ramen Noodles are gross and if I had to choose between going out to get pizza and beer or eating a coq au vin at a French Bistro, it would be the bistro every time).
Recently, I have gotten into a lot of experiemental cooking, and believe me...most of the time it works out...but occasionally there are epic disasters. More about those later.
I am pretty adventurous when it come to trying new things, but by far my favorite cuisine is Mediterranean...French, Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, even North African. After trying a few recipes from a cookbook I recieved for Christmas with spectacular results, I have decided to chronicle my adventures. With only a hole in the wall oven and stove in a tiny college kitcken, I hope to somehow come out not only more skilled and creative, but also to remember the days when I had to make some gourmet meal with only a corn tortilla, Cheerios, an apple, and some peanut butter.
As they say on the Iron Chef "Allez Cuisine"!
