Recipes from my kitchen
Here are a few of my favorite or latest recipes. Some recipes I have adapted to the ingredients that I have in hand, to highlight a flavor note or just some classic recipe that by experimenting I made my own.
I encourage everyone to explore and expand their own capabilities by being courageously creative, rather than feeling tied to structured recipes and rules – allowing their senses to guide them. So when looking for a recipe, gather several recipes from different sources of the same thing you are trying to make, study them all and then trusting your cooking instincts come up with your own version. It's OK to play with your food!

The style artisan bread is my 'go to' bread recipe. For years I have searched for recipe like this. My Le'Creusset dutch oven is key to giving this bread its crusty texture. Thank you Kristen D.!!
