About me
I love big, bold flavors, intense spices, seductive seasonings, lots and lots of heat! I have a serious cilantro fetish. I am incurably addicted to garlic, ginger, the coffee bean, the cocoa bean, peppers of all shapes and sizes, tomatoes, avocados, coconuts, curry, several styles of cheeses, all things citrus, real maple syrup, honey and bacon. Occasionally I am able to exert extreme willpower and follow a recipe exactly as written. More often I prefer to tweak here and there, either substituting parts of other recipes or from my own previous cooking experience, what I imagine might work well. The results are rarely dissapointing and often very rewarding. Oh, and I absolutely love a great burger! ...and bread in a bottle (often referred to as 'beer', though none of the stuff you see regularly advertised). And if you must know, Alton Brown is my hero.
