For the love of cooking
I want to share something...in case I have not made it explicit...I LOVE to cook, bake and generally be in the kitchen. I love cookbooks (my husband will often make mention of the number of cookbooks I own - I really do read them all!) and the thrill of experimenting with a new recipe or ingredient. I also really enjoy mastering a recipe, committing it to memory and making it part of my everyday repertoire.
Did I mention, I also love to eat good food, homemade food, a lovingly prepared meal or dessert. I love the sense of comfort that comes from eating something that you know was made with love and hopefully - passion. I have tried to instill the sense of whole foods, cooking and love for your food in my darlings. They will cook with me, and when baking they are willing taste tasters. We watch cooking shows together and the girls seem to have a wide knowledge of ingredients and different foods (in my humble opinion). So today, I celebrate the humble joy of cooking. Here's wishing you a wonderful meal and good friends or family to enjoy it with!
Today's pictures are an example of recent baking (a three tiered vanilla layer cake) and a sample of my cookbooks collection (ever growing!).
