Restaurant quality meals at home
Growing up, many of us heard the phrase, ”This is not a Restaurant”. Make the opposite true at your house.
I’m a Brooklyn based home cook focused on various cuisines, fresh ingredients and delighting the people at my table. My recipes are easy to follow, flexible, require tools you probably already have and generally take less than an hour to prepare.
Why is this site different from all other sites? Other sites have thousands of recipes. This one has few. Recipes are over rated anyway. They are really guides to teach you the basics. Unlock the great cook you can be. All it takes is a bit of care and planning to make your house everyone’s favorite restaurant.
Yes, This is a Restaurant
