General Disclaimers

Recipes are meant to be a general guideline for preparing dishes, not an exact blueprint for dish. That means, you are at risk of messing up! This blog is intended to give you ideas and a general sense of preparation and not teach you how to cook. For that I recommend you take a cooking fundamentals class. Here are some suggested places for that:

L'Academie de Cuisine - Premiere Culinary School of the Washington D.C. area. I went through their professional program and highly recommend their weekend warrior classes. They have several classes that teach fundamentals (knife skills, meat cookery, ethnic foods, etc) Check them out at www.lacademie.com


Although I work for a retail grocer and wholesale food distributor, this site has no direct affiliation with those businesses. I may occasionally suggest the retail store as a place to buy some of the hard to find ingredients. I receive no payment for such.

I am not  responsible for anything you may somehow download.

The intention of this blog is education and entertainment so don't take anything too seriously!
