I'm The Reluctant Gourmet

For over 14 years I've been teaching myself how to cook and sharing these experiences on the Internet. I'm NOT a professional chef, NEVER took took a cooking class but as a stay-at-home dad to these two beautiful girls and a successful working wife, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to put tasty meals on the table.

Join me as I tame my fears and attempt to overcome my own "reluctant" tendencies in the kitchen. With the help of some professional chefs and other home cooks, I'll focus on important cooking techniques and then apply them to some of my favorite recipes.

There's a lot here so take your time and browse around. Be sure to get over to my cooking blog where I am posting recipes, tips, techniques and stories about my adventures in the kitchen. And please be sure to leave some comments.
