Hey! My name is James. I have no formal training with food but it has been a huge part of my life for the last 15 years. Ever since I was a young kid, food was what united our family. I informally took on the role of head chef for my family growing up and that tradition has continued to this day with our family swelling to fourteen (my three brothers are productive young men!).

The recipes I've learned growing up (& along the way) I now continue sharing with my friends. Nothing beats having those dearest and nearest come over for some tasty food, great conversation and ... libation.

I hope you enjoy the recipes that follow! I know my friends & family do.
