I created this blog as a way to explore the culinary discoveries that I make as someone who cooks as a hobby, not as a professional. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, preferably gourmet cooking over home-style cooking. I love learning about new flavor combinations, and nothing thrills me more in the kitchen than bringing in a new ingredient and incorporating it into an excellent dish.
My fiance works at a local upscale restaurant. He works alongside the people who choose what appears on the menu, so he usually has creative control over the before-dinner butter or the between-course sorbet. Although I wish that he had more creative opportunity at the restaurant, I enjoy brainstorming with him for ideas.
Today we came up with a butter that went over very well: Toasted coconut, carrot and honey butter. We came up with the idea together after looking at a muffin recipe. It's interesting to apply the elements of one recipe into something entirely unexpected and find that it works well.
