i'm siiiiiiiick

I don't know what is going on, but ever since my boyfriend and I moved in together I have been getting way more colds than usual. My boyfriend sometimes shows signs of less-than-100% around the same time, but he'll maybe blow his nose a couple of times a day for a few days, whereas I end up with burny-tired eyes, completely congested, unable to breathe, just barely functioning, and on the verge of developing an addiction to tylenol. But this is probably a good thing, since every time I've been sick he has always been well enough to make me soup....awwwww....

Creamy cauliflower soup: cauliflower, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, beef bouillon, dill, a touch of cream, garnished with a dallop of sour cream and more dill

About Us

My boyfriend loves to cook and is very creative in the kitchen. Although the internet is often consulted, he doesn't use recipes. He does most (ok, just about all) of the "heavy lifting" documented here. He also happens to be an amazing artist - which may contribute to his excellent food plating and presentation - so check out his art store on Etsy (and see some samples at the bottom of the page).

I perform important tasks (mainly peeling and chopping onions) and provide ideas gleaned from hours of reading food blogs, recipes and menus online, as well as gentle suggestions (i.e. "Isn't the [ingredient] going to go bad soon? Maybe we should use [ingredient] tonight..."). I am also Head Photographer and Blogmaster.

About Our Blog

In an article in the New York Times Michael Pollan said that we spend more time watching "sport" cooking shows than we do actually cooking. And he said this like it is a bad thing. We hope that this blog proves that these shows, while not explicitly instructive, can be a wonderful inspiration.

Of course no one has the time or resources to cook like an Iron Chef all the time. Sometimes we decide to be adventurous and try more elaborate dishes, but generally we want to show that it isn't difficult to put together interesting, creative, and healthy meals any night of the week. We don't make a weekly plan, we don't decide what to make and then go get ingredients. We buy random fun and interesting things that catch our eye at the grocery store, and then figure out how we can use them.

So don't look here for recipes (for the most part the description of what we ate is all there is to it - "mashed turnip with horseradish" is mashed turnip with horseradish!), look here for everyday ideas and inspiration.
