Yes, here we are. Food is a “language” that has no barriers. No matter who you are or what culture you come from, you gotta eat, right? Because of this, why not make it great? I’ve spent the last 8 years or so learning how to eat more healthy…but have only recently realized the power of making my food FANTASTIC. And why shouldn’t we eat fantastic food? I used to be very nervous in the kitchen…why, I don’t know. I grew up in a household that always cooked. If it wasn’t my Mom cooking, it was my Italian Grandmother or my Yiayia (Greek for Grandma)…and everything they made was amazing! Back then, I wasn’t really interested in learning how to create any of these amazing dishes. I was too busy doing whatever. Once I became a mother, I was even more nervous and could only make a few things…which got me by…most of the time. I think the turning point for me had to be a few years ago when I watched my first cooking show on TV. I was amazed at how easy they made it all look and how simple the ingredients really were. I tended to think I had to buy expensive this or high priced that or have many gadgets in the kitchen to make things work…when in reality, I just needed a few key pieces, fresh food and imagination. Oh, and practice, practice, practice. I welcome you to read, follow along, comment and try experimenting in your own kitchens. In whatever language you prefer…Guten Appetit! (German)
