Television Feasts

I am a home cook who backyard gardens and has a serious closet addiction to the Food Network. I envision visiting the world in my own kitchen.

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television. At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachael and more. I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food. I am a student of the University of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra-curricular activities all stem from channel 39.

Marinated Shark Steaks

Dinner was a completely rearranged after stopping by my grocery store and much to my delight there were beautiful Wild Caught Shark Steaks in the case-btw, my store is raising the bar on their seafood offerings; SO happy about that!  I was hesitant on the fish.  Shark is not often found in a seafood department, let alone my hometown store.  But the flesh was clean, the meat firm (never buy fish that the layers are separating), and it had no fishy smell.  It was a treat to find this luxurious offering.  And, the price was great!  $7.99 lb.!  For two of us, and a little left over, Two 1/2 lb. steaks for $7.99 was unbelievable!  Shark is a dense, white fleshed fish with no oily taste at all.  It is shot through with fushia seams of rich flavor.  It is perfect for grilling, marinating, broiling etc.
