An Introduction

I love to cook. Anything from simple eggs and bacon to more extravagant dishes like Turducken (A turkey stuffed with a duck which has been stuffed with a chicken. Check out www.chefpaul.com for the recipe). Being fortunate to have grown up with two parents who cooked, I’ve been cooking since the age of 8, and helping in the kitchen since the age of 4. The food that I grew up with was simple, good comfort food. Foods ranging from from Shepherd’s pie to lasagna, to beef stew with dumplings, garlic pork roast, mom’s chilli, and dad’s favourite Newfie dinner with roast beef, gravy and all the trimmings. Armed with my culinary arts degree and some really fancy knives, and a new and spiffy Crockpot, I’m embarking on a comfort food cooking journey. I will be posting pictures, recipes and links to some of my favourite foodie websites. I hope you will join me! Any comments, suggestions, and constructive feedback is always welcome!
