Love does permeate...
Growing up with a father who absolutely loves the kitchen and a mother who is not too shabby herself, my siblings and I can not really be afraid of the kitchen, especially because we love to eat. The only caveat was, that they cooked up a lot of complicated Island dishes. Caveat, yes because growing up in an American culture, I wanted what everyone else was eating like baked ziti and sloppy Joe lol, not curry chicken; beef liver, and cornmeal porridge. That is actually a lie, I just wanted those dishes in addition to the Jamaican ones. (I was not deprived of good flavorful food).
Finding my own groove...
What I love most about cooking is smelling the herbs and spices, the prep, the conversations, the heat of the oven; the colors; the quantity lol, and the smiles I put on peoples faces when I am done. In these posts you will come with me as I experiment on my favorite recipes or my impromptu dishin' (in other words meal making lol).
Why Fettuccine Alfredo, Why not?
Pasta in creamy white sauce is something I do enjoy so why not add a veggie and a protein? I've been collecting the ingredients since the weekend and right after I picked up Chase and put him in bed, I hit the kitchen. See some pics below of the ensemble. I was able to make the dish have 3 glasses of wine and relax a bit before he woke up.
