WHAT IS MISSING FROM MY RECIPES?
Have you noticed what is missing from my recipe pages? I will give you a hint! Do you see ads? Do you lengthy musings? No, you do not. You do not see them because I decided to defy those trends and create a clean site that you can thoroughly enjoy!
First of all, isn’t it tiring to scroll through flashy ads after every paragraph, hoping to find the recipe just beyond? Secondly, isn’t it fatiguing to sort through an author’s lengthy musings in an attempt to glean the tips and tricks you need to make your cooking experience successful?
I promise not to do that on my recipe pages. Instead, you will find short introductions, concisely written recipes, and easy-to-follow tips and tricks. Additionally, I share plenty of method pictures to help you along your way. There is nothing quite like a visual assurance that things are going along as planned!
FOOD AND TRAVEL ADVENTURES
If you are interested in more in-depth stories, you will find those on my Food Adventures pages. Beyond that, if you develop an interest in our adventures and want to dive deeper, my husband Mark started a travel blog called Mark and Jean Travel to… In it, he captures and shares our travels, which will be more than ever, now that he retired.
We hope you enjoy the cooking, the traveling, and the food adventures! Let’s get cooking!
