And I begin my blog

I love food, I really do. I love to eat it, experiment in my kitchen with it, read about it, you name it. I also have a major cookbook & recipe obsession. Last week I was reading a review of Dorie Greenspan's cookbook, Baking From My Home to Yours, when I stumbled across Tuesdays with Dorrie. This is a book I'm very excited about, as I really liked Dorie's work on Baking with Julia. She also has a great blog devoted to all things food.

So back to Tuesdays with Dorrie - this is a community of people who bake their way through Baking From My Home to Yours, recipe by recipe. One of the rules for being part of this community is that you have to own the book (which I don't, yet) and you need to have your own blog - presumably for tracking all your successes and failures with the recipes.

This sounded like so much fun to me that I figured I'd give it a try. But I don't just want it to be about baking. I'm hoping to track all of my cooking adventures, as well as post about restaurants, food writing, favorite food products, etc. I promise I'll share the not-so-good with the good, lest this become one of those totally pretentious "look-what-I-did" kind of blogs.

And if you're a Food Nerd, too, hopefully you'll glean something useful and/or amusing out of this. Leave me a comment if you have the time, too!

Happy cooking and eating.
