I’m Tired of Oatmeal

Remember my friend Fred. The roommate who taught me a lot about cooking. Well, way back when he gave me what has been an invaluable tool that is still going strong today. He gave me the gift of a Kitchen Aid food processor. Ok, folks listen here, if you do not have a kitchen aid

My Favorite Food

It wasn’t until my early twenties that I really started getting into cooking. Until that time I had limited exposure to food outside of my mother’s or grandmother’s normal fare. My first roommate was an older friend of mine named Fred. I watched him cook and learned much of the technical basics I still rely

Everybody Loves Tortillas

I grew up working for a family business, not of my own, but with people that treated you like family. This wasn’t my first job, and at 26 years old, the age I got hired on, I was hardly a kid anymore, but I use the term “grew up” to signify how much I learned

Don’t Be Affraid of Fish

There is something mystical about the ocean. We can see on the surface its massive breadth and power but have little ability to see what is going on below. I can remember fishing with my dad out on the docks of Bodega Bay, and the amazement I felt when a bite would come on my

I love Muffins

My name is Andy, and I’m a recovering Baker. I know it sounds cheesy, and I mean no disrespect to the AA organization. However, addiction comes in many forms and I can say that I had a bonafide addiction to baking. There was a time when my mind became consumed with milling flour, fermenting dough, shaping, rolling, mixing,

Worlds Healthiest Chip

When I was young I hated vegetables. Other than potatoes and corn, carots were the only thing my mom could get me to eat that grew out of the ground. I guess I wasn’t much different than many other kids. Our taste buds develop over time so savory foods like vegetables can be off putting

Better Than Butter

Better than butter? Seriously is that even possible. Yes my friends it is, and it’s called Ghee. I can remember the exact time when I made the connection between what I ate and how I felt. I was 26 years old working for a new company that brought in a nutritionist to talk with the

Not your mothers Brussels sprouts

Who can remember as a child staring at a plate of steamed Brussels sprouts and being told by your mother not to get up from the dinner table until they were gone? And then sitting there dreading the agony of the watery, mushy, tasteless torture about to be relentlessly forced upon your poor innocent soul

Chicken Yucca Soup

My grandma had a Midas touch when it came to the kitchen. She wasn’t a gourmet style chef but her food tasted so good that some of the deepest burned memories in my brain are from enjoying her simple style of home cooking while visiting their cozy Northern California seaside home. She would start early,

Mofongo

I love playing around with food. It started when I was very young and my mother would open up her pantry to give me, her 5-year-old boy access to all the mysterious flours, herbs, and spices she had on hand. I would grab whatever looked or smelled good and mix it in a big bowl I
