“Best” Recipes

When you love to eat good food, it’s essential that you learn to cook. That way you can have your favorites whenever you want, and it allows you to come up with your own recipes without having to be at the mercy of a particular chef’s taste. It’s also very rewarding to share something that you’ve poured your heart and soul into with the people that you care about.
It is my opinion that the best food is cooked by someone who loves to eat whatever it is that they are cooking. Although, I’m sure that any good chef who has an extensive understanding of ingredients and techniques can make just about anything taste good, I think that it’s a little dishonest to serve something to others that you don’t like yourself. That’s because cooking to me is a form of communication. And the most effective communication is delivered with conviction for what is being offered, and a sense of affininty for who it is being share with.
My “best” recipes represent a few of my favorite things to eat, which I’ve spent a great deal of time and care perfecting into dishes that I absolutely love. Each is a little piece of me, and as such is a continual work in progress as I learn about new ingredients and my culinary knowledge expands. Therefore, you will find that they change slightly over time. However, for the time being, they are what I consider the best possible version of each dish.
I offer them to my friends to try and enjoy. Bon apetite!
