Обо мне
Married, with three sons, my wife and I learned to cook well living in Toronto for a couple years in the 1990s. Shopping the Saint Lawrence market on Saturday mornings taught us about fresh ingredients, while the demonstration kitchen at a restaurent called Scaramouche taught us technique. Eating well together as a family is now one of our cherished rituals.
Grilled meats, slow-cooked meats, and French bistro are among our favorite food types.
Кулинарное влияние
Hugh Fearnley-Wittingsall has been an influence. His thesis that: (1) Livestock should be raised compassionately and provided with as near to a natural life as possible, and (2) No animal should die just to be cooked mediocrely, has affected how I select and prepare meats.
I like pure, simple flavors, perfectly executed, and so Thomas Keller and French Bistro-style foods are influences.
