Welcome to our first post! We are Matthew and Christine, and we really like food. We enjoy not just eating food, but also the process of making it. We eat a plant based, vegan and vegetarian diet with the occasional fish thrown in. We try to make the majority of our food from scratch, with whole ingredients that are as unprocessed as possible.
We want this blog to be our way of sharing our cooking methods and ideas. We want it to show not just our elaborate concoctions, but also the simple basics that build up the foundations of our meals. Sometimes our recipes may seem complex, but most of the time they are simple principles that we have just built over time. Sometimes we like to purposefully make large amounts of things (like our veggie burger mix) so that we have leftovers to play with the next day. Most of our recipes are derived from trying to figure out what to do with leftovers.
Many people think that we cook complicated food, but to us, our food is just simple every day food made with the ingredients we have on hand. As you can see, we don't have a fancy chef's kitchen--in fact, we have a cozy kitchen with minimal work space--but we like it this way (more cabinets and/or counters would be nice though).
I like having everything within a moment's reach, and the small space forces us to work more as a team in the kitchen. You don't need a fancy huge kitchen to cook good food. All you really need is some kind of stove, a sink (although that's debatable), some tools, some good ingredients, and the desire to make good food. That's it.
So we hope you'll enjoy our little blog, and excuse our occasional weird sense of humor.
