Welcome

I like to cook.

There is something utterly fulfilling about combining discrete pieces, uniting them in some hidden theme, and having their sum satisfy and bless people.

More and more I am discovering that the joy I find in feeding others, in bringing people together to share a meal, is something that drives me.

With this discovery, I have begun to push my culinary envelope. I was raised a meat and potatoes (and fruits and vegetables) boy, so I have a hard time straying into the gourmet realm of fine cooking. Luckily, I developed my own culinary category.

Gourman is the type of cooking I aspire to prepare and offer. It is defined chiefly by its grandiose scale and bold flavors. Tertiary characteristics include cost, food diversity etc.

Thus, this is my manifesto. My Gourman Manifesto. The Gourmanifesto.



This is a meal of spiral pasta noodles with a tomato-garlic meat sauce, garlic bread and steamed asparagus. Cook time: 40 minutes
