our new kitchen comes with so many perks!

My mom was visiting over the weekend, and although it was quite cold yesterday, I felt I had to show her a bit more of our new neighborhood. On our walk, we discovered a fantastic little seafood store that sells fresh fish and random Asian sauces and condiments. (For those Nashville-ites checking the blog: it reminds me of a much smaller and less sketchy K&S). We decided to try some of their fish, and man was it good. We will definitely be going back.

Maybe it's because we haven't cooked in so long, but tonight's dinner smelled out of control incredible while my boyfriend was cooking. We also discovered some awesome perks of our new kitchen: 1) our kitchen is set up so that I can pull up a chair and hang with my man while he's cooking (even if he refuses to let me help), and 2) in my boyfriend's words: "The set-up of this kitchen makes it easier to clean up as I'm cooking".

Seriously, does it get any better?!?!?!

I miss K&S! Glad you have found a suitable replacement. We have found one too, although it's still sketchy.

I always thought K&S was very respectable and proper. You should see the store here, it even says 'sale items are out of date'.
So it seems like everything is better in the big city, probably nicer neighbours, too, with more refined taste in music and dance...

D'you have photos of your kitchen? Wonder how the setup works for your boyfriend. Hah, if he won't allow you to help him out, at least you still get to hang out with him in the kitchen.

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.
