Welcome To My Kitchen!

I am finally in possession of a digital camera and I am excited to be able to share my culinary creations with the world! The basic ideas for my recipes come from cookbooks or family tradition, but all are personally tailored to my whims and desires.

My favorite foods are chocolate, raspberries, avocado, mushrooms, cheese and cream; expect to see a lot of these as ingredients!

Don't be surprised to discover recipes that feature garlic, ginger and dill (though not necessarily together :) - I can't get enough of these spices!

My summer garden has plenty of fresh herbs that I enjoy using in dishes- some survive into the fall, others do not. You can expect to find recipes for Lemon Verbena Creme, Lemon Balm Chicken Salad, Lavender Truffles and Chocolate Mint Brownies.

My mother's family has strong Polish and Slovak backgrounds, so anticipate family recipes for Pierogi, Pagatch, Mushroom Soup or Galumpki (Stuffed Cabbage) . . . especially around Christmas!

I look forward to your comments (especially if you try the recipes yourselves!).

Happy Eating!
