My aim here is just to keep track of the recipes I have invented along with those I have tried from around the world. It’s also a place for me to keep track of the many different sites I find along the way that I find helpful in learning to further my cooking ability.

After many years I have decided that food should not only look good but should also be very tasty. So I intend to learn to make my food not only look great but taste great also.
