About Me
Hi, I'm a single gay guy just learning how difficult it is to cook for one. I'm rushing into middle age, learning how to make enjoyable food healthful (and vice versa). In the warmer months my diet is heavy with vegetables, in t
he colder months I gain weight. Here in the Pacific Northwest of the US spring is approaching and I'm eating lots of salads. I've always had a romantic obsession with picnics and eating outdoors. On a hot summer night with no plans, I'll pack my supper and head to the beach. I'll admit to a girly obsession with this recent bento fad. A whole cult devoted to picnic type foods! I used to be a part owner of a small pizza restaurant, and I've been cooking since i was 8 years old. I've taught myself how to make homemade hand dipped chocolates. I have an embarrasingly large collection of cookbooks. I'm interested in the historical aspects of food (historical foods and methods of different cultures, food preservation), I'm also obsessed with tradional foods that are disappearing (modern food production making tradional preserved foods obsolete). I'm also intrigued by traditional cuisines and how they change when made in differnt cultures. I also am interested in homestyle or farm cooking in different cultures- the sorts of things that don't get served in restaurants (Nikujaga, Dublin Coddle, Pizzoccheri, Mince Dumpling).
