Me

I've started a blog and I have no idea where to begin, so I guess I'll tell you a little about me, and what my blog is all about.

I was born and raised in Sussex County, Delaware, most of my neighbors were Mennonite (think modern Amish) farmers.   I have a love of food and knowing and understanding where it comes from, a love of the earth. I'm far from a peaceful, 100% green, off the grid, hippy, I just think everyone should do what they can. For me that means I talk to farmers, recycle and compost and grow a lot of my own vegetables.

I started cooking in restaurants when I was 15 and though it has been a long twisting path I'm back to what I love, food.  I'm a personal chef who focus on organic, local food, not everything I fix is healthy but I think if you don't treat yourself once in awhile what is the point. I cook just about everything I can get my hands on and I love experimenting in the kitchen.

So this blog is about eating, living, and loving every day of your life.  I'll talk about things that are local, new, environmentally friendly, creative, exciting or just down right fun.  So stay tuned, you never know what I'm going to say or do.
