A Cook’s Meditation
Menu Meditation: v. to read through a mind-altering menu. “Lacking prolific conversation, we silently stare at an elegant menu filled with course selections that will tantalize all five senses.”
Exceptional cuisine whenever the mood strikes, inspired me to indulge in recipe creation. There is no replacing the dining ambiance and good service of a fine restaurant, so why not bring these wonderful flavors to your own kitchen from time to time when otherwise, you would go without?
I am about creating palette pleasing flavors from whimsical to sophisticated, elegant but practical, simplicity without compromise. I inspire and introduce fresh seasonal cooking, menu selection and design. My efforts are to support and promote farmer’s markets and specialty bakeries, all whilst learning from mentors and my mistakes.
I dedicate my passion for cooking to my family; and to the acquaintances who have provided inspiration and confidence to photograph the results.
