À la cuisine!

A few years ago I began compiling my reviews of local and far-distant restaurants, as well as my recipes, in a now-defunct community on LiveJournal.

This blog will be used to republish some of those reviews and recipes; and, as time goes on, I'm going to be adding links to suggested shopping (for example, should I find a local retailer of Oregon truffles), providing my exceptionally biased opinions of fine wine and dining venues, and documenting further kitchen experiments.

Cooking is fun, dining out is enjoyable, and finding the right wine is a delight: none of these activities should ever evoke terror.

So why don't you come in to my kitchen, pull up a stool, grab a cloth, and polish up a few pears. I'll bring out some Stilton and a nice tawny port, and we can spend a bit of time together.

Let's talk about food, shall we?
