I never would have thought that I would start a blog (I've never kept a journal). However, I have always been into cooking and when my wife got me a chef's coat for Christmas it kicked me into high gear. I am writing this blog to keep track of what I have done, the mistakes I have made and to share my passion for cooking with you. As I try various recipes, techniques and resources I will post them here in the hopes that others can profit as well as add to them. There is no recipe on this blog that you cannot do at home with normal kitchen implements. If you find something you like, have problems with the recipes or want to provide alternatives, feel free to comment.
I need to give my thanks to Karen, my wife of almost 28 years. She puts up with and encourages my passions. She also tests the recipes and techniques and helps me to improve them. I couldn't be the man I am without her.
I will post everything in text here. However, thanks to Reinhilde on Flickr, I will post links to photo versions of many of the recipes as well. Reinhilde coined the term Cookumentary for this.
