Why the Website?

Details: Written by Cynthia Presser

The idea of starting a blog about my cooking came from my friends always asking for my recipes. If I invited people over for dinner, the guests would not go back home without the recipe. Many times some of the guests would gather around the stove top with a glass of wine in their hand to watch how I was making the meal because they knew it was going to be good!

When throwing big events, I ALWAYS made the food in advance so I could enjoy the party too. During those events, guests would again ask to take home recipes.

One day, I was making a quiet dinner for my husband and, just for the fun of it, I decided to take a picture of my food and post it on Facebook. That night I received dozens of comments and messages asking for the recipe.

So what's so special about my recipes anyway?

I test all of the meals I make, add a couple twists until they taste fantastic, and I do it with a lot of simplicity. I am not a professionally trained chef, but my best recipes taste like they were made by one. For all these reasons I have decided to share with everyone the favorite part of my day. I hope you enjoy my recipes and enjoy cooking too. Cheers!
