First Post!

Hi all! Welcome to my food blog. Please follow me on my food adventures as I will cook and post recipes once or twice a week, and travel around Los Angeles trying food. I currently live in a small studio apartment with my wife and newborn son, so I am severely limited space wise.

Even with that though, that won't stop me from churning out delicious meals for my family and I. If I can cook, then so can you! I am hoping some people will discover this blog, try their hand at cooking, and fall in love with it as I have.

I personally believe that everyone should be able to at least cook an egg and get by on basic cooking. It is a skill set and as with any other skill the more you do it the better you get. If you're here and have no cooking experience, fear not! Give these recipes a try when I put them out, and then you can alter them to your personal taste (ha!).

If you're here and you're a great cook or chef, then let me know how I'm doing! At the age of 17 I fell in love with cooking when I moved in with my Italian stepfather. The first time I tried the chicken cacciatore he made, I was hooked! There was no going back for me. I was on a mission to learn as much as I can about cooking through trial and error.

I did not go to culinary school and I don't claim to be a chef. I am a self taught home cook and I am learning new things every time I cut an onion or boning out a chicken thigh.

I'm still honing my photography and video editing skills, so I apologize in advance if the quality of content isn't up to par as other blogs and food sites. It soon will be though. Just like anything I will get better the more I do it. Below are a few samples of some of the food I have made.

Thank you for following me on this adventure and I cannot wait to start posting more content in the comings weeks. Cheers!

Summer Honey Semifreddo

Hi all! Sorry for the 6-month late post. A lot has happened in my life. My wife, son and I have finally moved from our small studio apartment in LA to Salt Lake City. I now have an actual kitchen whoo!!! I've been cooking up some great dishes and am going to get back into the groove here. I made a fantastic summer dessert which I saw on Masterchef Australia a bit ago. Chef Charlie Sartori made this beautiful semifreddo which one of my idols, Marco Pierre White, said it was the best dessert he's ever had on the show. It looked incredible and I knew I had to try it! I tweaked it a little and added a graham cracker base to the bottom, and let the semifreddo set in ramekins. This recipe makes 4, and it truly is light and delicious. Give it a go! Thank you Chef Sartori for coming up with such a wonderful, tasty dessert! This unofficial recipe makes 4 individual semifreddos. Honey Semifreddo: 1 egg, plus yolk 3 tbsp sugar 1/4 cup honey 1 cup heavy cream pinch of salt Cr...

Pasta Aglio e Olio..one of my favorite things ever!

Hey everyone, this dish is one of those dishes where I could never be tired of it, and it is beyond simple to make. In my opinion, the beauty of real Italian food lies within the simplicity and balance of ingredients. Everything just melds together and plays off one another. Spaghetti Aglio e olio is literally spaghetti, garlic, and olive oil. A couple other things are added of course and you have to cook everything just right, but it's surprisingly delicious as it is cheap. I have been making this one for years, and it is one of my all-time favorites. To make the dish the first thing you want to do is get the water started for the pasta. Get that pot going because once we start this dish will be ready in a matter of minutes. Once the water for the pasta is on the stove (don't put in the spaghetti yet), put a sautee pan on medium-low heat then add a good amount of olive oil since it's one of the main ingredients. Thinly slice a few big cloves of garlic then add to th...
