A Note From Lynne
Back in 2008, my daughter Erika and I had an idea to share our food adventures online by reviewing gourmet foods (hence the blog name). But as it turned out, our readers were far more interested in the original recipes we were sharing from time to time. So, we listened and our recipe collection began to grow.
Life has had its ups and downs. Over the years we’ve toasted successes and mourned some deeply personal losses, including that of my mom, the incredible cook who inspired us and consulted with us on all things food. We’ve kept growing though, adapting to the ongoing challenges involved in running a food blog, and stay busy creating new recipes and refreshing our older ones with new photos and insights.
We truly hope our recipes inspire you to cook, create, and savor the moments spent in your kitchen and at the table. Many thanks to you for joining us!
Here’s to great meals!
Lynne
