Greetings

Greetings,

My name is Douglas and my philosophy is simple: Food is essential to life, so why not make it good; food is easy (or easier than you think) to prepare; and anyone can do it—truly! My goal here is twofold: to share tips and observations about food and cooking, and to create a forum for experienced cooks and beginners alike.

I love and appreciate food. It is the only medium that I know of that engages all of our senses, allows us to be equals in its enjoyment, and inspires conviviality no matter where one is around the globe.

I understand why some are intimidated with food and its preparation. There is nothing more disheartening or frustrating than spending the time and money to prepare something that is tasteless and unenjoyable to eat; simply calories to tide us over until the need arises again. Hopefully, after visiting you will find food and cooking more approachable and enjoyable.

We all have something to learn, so let me, and the others who visit, hear from you; what I do know, I look forward to sharing.

Provecho!
