Kitchen
An unabashed fan of cookbooks like food porn (sorry, mom!) and culinary magic, I’m all about the mastery of a good dish. For a good while now, I’ve been transferring my favorite recipes to the equivalent of a cooking diary. This blog is helping me to catalog my favorite dishes from this book, along with the food memories that accompany them. The recipes below also include printable versions, so you don’t have to get your laptop dirty when you try any of these at home. I also encourage you to snap pictures of your creations and send them to my Facebook Group, Adesina’s Cook-a-long, or the matching Flickr site.
For a taste of some of my favorite gadgets, ingredients, culinary advice and gastronomical whatnot, take a peek at the posts listed under Culinary Inspiration.
