I really want to be more of a foodie. i mean my general enthusiasm for food and years of mind numbing restaurant experience have given me some education in finer dining and the art of gastronomy. I have had random roommate over the years who love to cook. I mean they love to cook.not just grill up some meat or whip up a batch of satisfying mac and cheese. I mean $50 worth or meat and cheeses to create the perfect lasagna. i have woken up some nights at 1 am to find roommates tempura battering soft shell crabs. I have lazily sat in front of the tv and had turn up the volume because someone is in the kitchen making a variety of savory cheese cakes.
Fortunately i live in NYC where every food in the world cant be found, prepared in every way possibel. I have a grasshopper taco, blood sausage lasagna, and finished them off with a cabernet savignian serbet.
i have little instinct for cooking myself. I can follow a recipe and really enjoy the feeling of preparing a meal for people. but i am single girl and ain't nothing sadder then wrapping left over for a beautifully prepared family meal for one.
But this doesnt stop me from checking out foodie sites .
My new favorite site is
artisanalfoods.com.
Its a site that champion the local food movement and brings affordable fine ingredience to the home cook. I find myself wanting to buy all the samplers even though i am pretty sure avocado oil and fresh saffron would go to waste in my cupboard next to some month old open chips a-hoy cookies.
