If you’ve been here before, you may notice that my site’s content has disappeared. Over two year’s worth of posts, gone.

I’d been trying and trying to get back into writing, but each time I returned to this space and set to the task, I’d get really stressed and hung up on the format. I like consistency on the web, and with no time (and frankly, no interest) in cooking at home, my old shtick with all the cooking and shooting and writing and editing and posting everything just so… it exhausted me. And the obsessive compulsive in me couldn’t jive with suddenly changing direction midstream.

What I need is a place where I can meditate on life as a professional cook, express happiness and frustration, and embrace a more open format (photos, links to articles, musings on technique and cooking issues, the occasional rant, personal journal type stuff). To achieve this, I needed to start from scratch, so I archived posts from the past two years to save for posterity. I’m feeling good about this clean, white screen.
