Bon Appetit!

I believe in taking the time to prepare, and eat, good food that's good for you. Of course I like to make it look good too.

My approach to cooking is a creative, flurry of activity. I love soups, vegetables and vegetarian foods, though I eat my share of meat. Cooking with fresh herbs, citrus fruits, crunchy and chewy foods like nuts or brown rice never get old for me. I'm a fan of real, whole food, so you won't find anything here that isn't good for you.

Some of my recipes are a bit fussy and some so simple they barely deserve to be called a recipe, like the Broccoli Stem Salad.

I offer these recipes as a guideline. (See creative flurry above.) So I expect you to personalize and adapt to suit your taste, time and available ingredients.
