Welcome to my blog!!!! YAY!!! This has been a long time coming and its about time I shared my passion for baking and all things food. I've always loved to eat but who doesn't; however, my love extends past the normal into the obsessive. I look up menus for fun, I collect cookbooks and read them to luxuriate over the possibilities, and the first thing I do before an out of town trip is look up the local restaurant favs to visit....yes, "I am a foodaholic."
As a foodaholic there are some things I can't like without:
(1) Martha Stewart: Say what you will about Martha but her OCD qualities make her one of the most effective people to teach cooking techniques. I have NEVER gone wrong with one of her recipes and as you will see in later posts, most of my recipe adaptations start from one of her recipes.
(2) KitchenAid Stand mixer: I don't know how I survived without my KitchenAid professional 600 stand mixer for so long. This mixer is the end all be all for all my baking needs!!
(3) Rubber spatula: What kitchen is complete without a rubber spatula. It is perfect for scraping the sides while mixing ingredients during baking but the best use is when making scrambled eggs (another tip from Martha). TRUST ME!!! The lightness of the rubber will ensure that your eggs remain light and fluffy.
(4) Cookbooks: Anyone can cook with a trusted cookbook by your side. My favs are The Joy of Cooking, Patti Labelle, Barefoot Contessa, and any Martha Stewart cookbook.
These are my basic essentials....What are yours?
