about me

I'm a computer technician and knitter in the Beach Cities area that loves to cook. I'm a former pescetarian, and use that sensibility in a lot of my dishes, because not every main dish needs to contain meat. I usually make up recipes as I go, not that I often share those, but Recipezaar is one of my favorite sites to check when I want to do something new and need ideas of how to proceed.
I could be called a minimalist, because my favorite cookbooks are the three- and four-ingredient variety: There's something magic about being able to coax a fantastically tasty and pretty meal out of a minimum of ingredients.
At the moment, I'm fascinated by color and twists on the traditional — Blue potatoes in oil with caramelized onions. Roast chicken with blood oranges. Lavender sugar cookies with white chocolate chips.
