Happy St. Patties Day!

I am happy to say another Wednesday bites the dust. We have had some great weather the past few days and going to the farmers markets has inspired me a great deal and I can’t wait for the spring.

Over the years, I have read tons of culinary books. Some of the chefs that I have had a big influence on me and how I cook are Marco Pierre White, Eric Ripert, and Thomas Keller. They are similar chefs but they have their distinct differences. Refinement, an alteration that improves something (food) to make it more sophisticated, depth of flavor, making every bite exploded in your month. A quote from an eighteenth-century food writer Brillat-Ssavarin, “To know how to eat well, one must first know how to wait”.
