I have a true passion and undying love for gastronomy.
I'm a founder of CulinaryCulture, a site devoted to serious and aspiring foodies. I dabble in custom architectural and interior design from time to time. I have a couple of other exciting projects in the works, so stay tuned!

I'm also married to a rather interesting man, who has started companies like Threadless.com.

  1. Beer Can Chicken
Few things are better than having friends over while something delicious slow-cooks over firewood. Seriously.
We smoked this beer can chicken over applewood. I can not even begin to tell you how delicious it was. It was so incredibly flavorful and juicy. I also made homemade baked beans and cheddar buttermilk biscuits. (Biscuit recipe coming soon!)

  3. Homemade Fettuccine with Slow Butter Poached Lobster
Spicy garlic chardonnay sauce and lots of fresh flat leaf parsley.
The finished dish! Jacob and I stayed in Friday night and I wanted to surprise him with a homemade romantic dinner. I didn’t have time to go to the grocery store but I knew I had frozen lobster tail, eggs, flour, olive oil, butter, garlic, parsley, spices and wine so I came up with this. Nothing compares to homemade pasta!
