My outlook on good food

So one of the things I wanted to bring to my blog is a more personal touch, and one of the things I personally enjoy is food.

What makes good food? Being a good cook always helps but good ingredients can make all the difference in the world, fresh herbs, meats, ripe in season veggies and fruits can all make or break a dish.

Next time your out shopping for dinner take a look at your list and replace a single standard item with something a little bit "more", use fresh basil instead of dried, or maybe a nice aged sharp cheddar instead processed single slices and taste the difference.

Buy small bottles of various oils and vinegars there can be a large taste range between a $2 bottle of olive oil and a $10 bottle, oils and vinegars are like wines, yes there are cheap bottles of wine but few of them really "wow" you.

Why do some people spend more money on oil for there car then others? Because they swear they feel the difference, spend a little more here and there on the food you make and your guests will taste it!
