Sometimes savoring comes in the unexpected. Sometimes savoring comes out of the box. You might need to open your mind to something new, put away your fears and expectations and open up to undiscovered flavors.

By on October 5, 2010 with
Life can get busy! Most days we feel like taxi drivers, driving from soccer field, to gymnastics, from voice lessons to drums.

By on October 2, 2010 with
What kind of salt do you cook with? Iodized...regular table salt? We switched years ago when my husband was cooking professionally. We use kosher salt now. This kind. We keep it in this iron ware bowl above the stove to grab a pinch or two when we need it! It makes a huge difference in how your food tastes. You don't believe me? Take a little taster of iodized then a taster of kosher, side by side. Do you notice the iodized has a metallic flavor? So will your food. To savor a beautiful life in your kitchen, … [Read more...]
