Hi and welcome to my food blog!

Per request of many I figured this would be an easy way of sharing my recipes and pictures. Really they aren't my recipes, well atleast not all of them..most come from books, but I would still love to share them with you and hope that you can turn around and re-create the meal.. maybe make it better then mine by tweeaking some parts of the recipe (now if you choose to re-create please do share your changes with me and send me feedback about the recipes you have tried).

Well this is just an introduction, I will try and post up about 3-4 recipes a week.

And please feel free to keep me accountable for this if you'd like. :)

Bon Apetit!
