about me

I'm just a random guy with a true passion for food and a droll sense of humor. I'm a self taught, or maybe only self thought, amateur chef. I did work, however, for an hotel restaurant at the salad station for about a year. I'm French-Canadian, from Montreal, which makes me twice as interesting as any other kind of French. Err... okay, in facts it just makes me fluent in both French and English. I mostly cook every day meal for me and the guy who's been mine for the past eight years. However, since I have a new flat since May 1rst, with new stove and fridge, double the space I had before in my kitchen and more pantry space that I can fill (well, that will be taken care of quickly) I'll start hosting dinner parties again, baking like crazy again, canning, freezing, and doing to food all the crazy things you can do to it.

Favorite Foods:

I love food. Every food. I'm very versatile in the styles I cook in and the food I cook with. I like simple, earthy traditionnal foods. South American, Italian, Turkish and Moroccan are probably amongst my favorites. I have quite a big collection of recipe books, my favorites being the colorful, funny ones. They are mostly French, so I won't bother listing the titles here. I make delightfull pasta and sauces, killer couscous, great dips, generous and tasty hors d'oeuvres... at least that's what people say to my face.
