about me

Gardening, fishing, clamming and foraging for wild foods are some interests which connect to my interest in cooking. I like cooking things I have grown, caught or collected. Currently I am searching for tasty heirloom vegetable varieties for my garden. I also like to prepare foods by old-time processes such as smoking, fermenting and curing — kraut, pickles, cheese, sausage, those sorts of things.

Favorite Foods:

Some of my favorite foods to cook are ethnic dishes, especially Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Indian and Middle-Eastern. I like to make the ethnic dishes as authentic as possible. On the other hand, I improvise most of my other cooking. As a line in a Louis Prima tune says, "I can read (music) a little, but not enough to hurt me none." I am especialy fond of seafood and am lucky to live where it is readily available and very fresh.
