Practical Magic

"A good cook is like a sorceress that dispenses happiness" ~ Elsa Schiaparelli

Cooking isn't hard. Trust me. Once you have some of the basic techniques down, you'll be as fearless as Wonder Woman. Or RuPaul, you pick.

Before I start posting recipes, I thought I should offer a few words of advice and insight to how I cook...

I don't measure when I cook. I promise I will try to measure things as I make them and write things down, but to be safe, most measurements are best estimates. Even if they were exact measurements, when you cook...it's your food. Make it the way that it will taste best for you. Think of each dish as a blank canvas and...create.

Each recipe will include a shopping list, equipment list, an order of how I got things done and then each recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Since I'm new to this, please, please give me your feedback. My goal is to have these recipes make sense, be easy to follow and most of all, become a part of your arsenal. ;-)

I am going to post links to videos or "How To" instructions that I find for techniques that are important to master.

Lastly, if there is something you've always wanted to make and were afraid to try or it didn't turn out quite right, let me know and I'll try my hand at it and see if we can collaborate!

Thanks for stopping by!
