The start of a new year....and lots of new food!

During the holiday recess, watched Julie and Julia with my father. We loved the movie, and I loved the recipes. However, what I loved the most was that Julie Powell spent quality time with food - trying new recipes, enjoying new flavors - and yet culinary adventure was limited to one cookbook and one style of cooking.

I love to cook, but my recipes can vary from gastronomic wonders to an updated version of macaroni and cheese. Often, friends ask how I manage to still cook daily and run my hectic schedule. So I thought, hey, this J could start a blog of her own. But this time, the blog doesn't set out to attempt a great culinary feat (nor grab the attention of publishers and screenwriters). Instead, I want to share with my friends and family the recipes that I've tried, both quick and easy and downright splendid and impressive. I'll try, in 2010, to publish a post every Sunday, documenting these recipes and giving readers a chance to plan meals that work for their schedules. As always, A will be cooking at my side. However, when she's in the kitchen, be sure to refer to her as Remi. That's the only way she'll have it!

Buon appetito!

  1. Sounds perfect! People need a blog like this.

    BTW, my friend H also has a blog, Savory and Sweet (link's on my blog) if you want to check out other recipes, although hers tend to be a bit more intense.
