Hello Culinarians!
In Spring of 2006 I met Florence and Ron of Starlight Herb Company. It was at the Saturday Farmer's Market in the beautiful community of Eagle, Idaho. Having moved to Idaho earlier that year, I had decided to donate my time to the Market performing informative culinary demonstrations that feature fresh local products. A strong alliance soon formed between Starlight and myself, a relationship that continues to this day. Their commitment to high quality is apparent in each product they offer.
As a freelance chef my work is varied, as I expect this blog to be. Some entries may acquaint you with great ingredients or clarify classic cooking techniques. Others may testify to the virtues of using fresh sustainably raised goods or introduce you to essential equipment and kitchen tools. Occasionally you may hear the rantings of a frustrated chef as he considers the mindset of the "fast food" population.
I expect our time together to be a veritable "stock pot" of culinary discourse. The shared facts, tips, tricks, ideas, inspiration and encouragement (when simmered for a length of time) will yield a wonderfully rich, tasty and useful result. I truly hope you will find this interesting, entertaining, and informative. But, as with all things, how you use it will be up to you. Please check in regularly to see what's cooking!
Above all, my desire is that you will be inspired to create tasty and healthful meals and enjoy them with those you love.
Dine Well!
