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.

Burger Bar

I spent the day with family celebrating my sister's birthday.   It was a surprise get together. She was not expecting a houseful of guests the day after the main party.  We put together a Burger Bar to feed a variety of tastes.  This is a great idea when you have guests of all ages, or you are unsure what everyone likes.  Not a big cooking post, but I hadn't done All American Burgers yet this year, soooo it still counts as One New Thing A Day for 2014!

Burger Bar suggestions:

Lettuce
Tomato
Swiss cheese
Cheddar cheese
Bacon
Sautéed mushrooms
Onion
Pickles
Mayo
Ketchup
Mustard
