creator of Foodie Kitchen

I began to use the term foodie kitchen to refer to the group with whom I share all things food-related. We come from all walks of life - some of us are food professionals, others are home chefs with barely the time to eat a meal most days. We are all ages, from varied cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We have discovered that the sharing of our passionate interest in food creates a bond that is familial and enduring. Invite an acquaintance into your kitchen, spend some time messing around - chopping, cooking, tasting - and you will see what I mean. Your own foodie kitchen just grew larger.
Advice
Tips for the aspiring chef.
Improve your cooking by checking the source of your ingredients. Check for local and organic sources. Many of your freshest herbs can be grown in your own yard. Fresh peas from your garden are the sweetest and easy to grow.
Follow a recipe exactly the very first time. It is a great way to learn new sensibilities. After you have learned something new, concentrate on understanding the essential taste, then improvise.
Foodie Kitchen recipes scale. On your computer or iPhone type in the number of people you want to serve and all the math for proportions are done for you - metric if you need.
