Many people tell me, "oh you are such a good cook." I'll let you in on a little secret, i'm not a good cook, i'm a cook who likes to try new recipes and see how I can change them.
I grew up in Rochester, NY close enough to Buffalo, NY to feel it's food influences. Well maybe not the cities food culture, but I definitely was getting food culture. Here is a little background so you get to understand where I started my food adventure.
My Oma (Grandmother) came here from Germany with her family's recipes and the ability to make massive amounts of food from very few ingredients. Most of her dishes were prepared with butter. When I would journey to Oma's house there was always food, and if I was lucky sometimes I was roped into helping. I have to say this is where my love affair with food began, and definitely my drive to cook. I will, from time to time share with you techniques from Oma's kitchen, but will not be sharing the recipes. Now I hear your moans of sadness, but these recipes are old and not mine to share. I will however share with you other recipes that I have come up with and come across.
I will also be taking challenges from time to time. Feel free to give me a food item that I must use in a dish. Challenge could include Vegetarian, Vegan, or any other cooking paradigm.
My next post will be next weekend, with a challenge from http://forkandbrush.blogspot.com/ her post was about a sandwich she made. This intrigued me, a challenge to make a sandwich with Norwegian Cheese (Jarlsberg Swiss) was put forth and I accepted. Until next time...
