I’m a northerner with southern tendencies who found my way to Charm City back in 1993 and never really left. I have loved to cook since I was knee-high to my cute little grandma, who taught me much of what I know. The rest I learned from watching PBS cooking shows as a kid and reading cookbooks voraciously. As an adult, I’ve also drawn inspiration from the Food Network, eating at fabulous restaurants, and interacting with other foodies who love to share ideas and photos of their creations. I’m an Instagrammer, a Facebooker, and an occasional Tweeter, but I’m making a home here on the web to chronicle my culinary adventures in a more purposeful way and hopefully to keep friends and folks informed of any goings-on in my food journeys. More on that later. I’m glad you’re here.
