Introduction

Hi there! My name is Matt and I hope to use this blog to talk about my passion...FOOD!!! I come from a long line of foodies and truly enjoy everything about food. From growing it, to storing, buying it, cooking with it and then disposing of it...I love it all. I also love showing and teaching others how to cook. It gives me a chance to scratch that education itch that also runs in my family. Somehow I need to find a way to make a living off of this passion but until I find a way I will have to settle myself with this blog.

This blog will be used to relay ideas, recipes and other tidbits of information regarding food. My inspiration for this blog comes from many sources. Personally I have to start with my wife Patti whom I love cooking for. She has continued to support my passion from the early years of burnt disasters to fun and exciting results that now pop out of the kitchen. I also love cooking for my son who continues to amaze me with the amount of food he eats and what he is willing to try. From a blog standpoint I love Amanda's blog on food, here is the link if you'd like to take a gander.

Also Maggie Connors blog has inspired me to use photography as a way of getting my message across, here is her link if you'd like to take a look at that.

Finally, my cooking inspiration comes from Jamie Oliver. While I have many of his cookbooks, his best one as of late is Jamie At Home. He shows how to grow the food as well as harvest and cook it as well. It is a great idea and he does it very well. Jamie is part of a growing trend where local and organic food is what we need to be consuming as humans. There is too much processed and fast food out there and we, as a culture, are too quick to take these easy ways to satisfy our cravings. We need to learn to go back to the basics and create our own food, talk to our growers and butchers, find the food that is more down to earth than the plastic wrapped choices we have in the super markets. Hopefully I can try and show how easy it can be to get good food from the store or your garden to your table and your tummy!
