OK, so my nephew and I love food. Just about everything about it. Sure, I went through the Food Network phase and watched all the celebrity chefs each week, but like most have moved beyond that. I have to admit, that I still enjoy Jamie Oliver and I think Anthony Bourdain and I could be seriously good friends. (At least seriously good drunks) My nephew and I approach food from two pretty different ways. First of all, he is in New York City and I am down in Monterey, CA. He can pull things out of a cabinet, the fridge or off the grocery shelf and throw it all together and make an outrageous meal. Me on the other hand, I generally require written instructions. Sometimes I change it up, but most of the time I make it just as written. A friend of mine who used to be a food styler in NYC once told me that when you see a recipe in one of those major magazines, you can be sure that the magazine has made that recipe at least a dozen times before it goes to print, just to be sure it comes out exactly like they say.
Anyway, so my nephew and I email, text and talk about food all the time and we wanted a place where we could put all our ideas in one place, so here we are. Bear with us as we muddle our way through this and try and come up with some kind of format that makes sense. You'll read and hear about everything from our favorite recipes to exotic spices.
But please, this is not all about us. We want to hear from others, so don't be shy. We promise to post just about anything but do remember, his mom (yes, my older sister) will probably read this from time to time, so be kind. Thanks and let's see where this goes.
