Recipes
My cooking is built on good, simple, seasonal ingredients. Ingredients that taste of themselves. When you start with great ingredients, you don’t have to do much to them. Its uncomplicated, approachable, homestyle cooking; after all, this is the food I find myself craving. I don’t set out to cook with a lot of ingredients, techniques, or equipment. I don’t like to follow trends. Cooking should always be without pretension. Taste. Season well. Consider balance and texture in a dish. And taste again. I want to cook food that is inherently delicious and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
