Welcome to my website
This is a personal wikiblog, which started as a random collection of recipes I like and cooking techniques that work well for me; but as friends asked me for this recipe or that recipe, it gradually evolved into the public site you see now.
About My Tastes & Cooking
Key things I focus on;
- SpIcY cooking
- As the name of this site suggests, I LOVE spicy cooking. However I also like Japanese foods, baking, soups, and all varieties of non-spicy things as well.
- Make-it-yourself ingredients
- I've begun discovering the joys of make-it-yourself. Currently it's easier things; homemade yogurt, pasta, ice cream, bread, and museli. I grow all my own herbs. Someday I hope to expand my homemade selection to things like homemade cheese.
- Healthy meal choices
- I lead an active life, but my work is a desk job. This means I need to watch my calories and make healthier food choices. No chippies, soda pop, or fast food in our house.
- Kid-friendly cooking
- I'm a single dad with 2 young kids, ages 6 & 7. They're great, and I try to involve them in the kitchen when I can, on the safer parts of cooking.
- A bit of Vegetarian cooking
- My 7 year old son has (for reasons unknown) decided to become vegetarian. This is an interesting challenge for dad-the-omnivore.
