Cooking: An Omnipotent Being or Utter Malarkey?
Why is it that some people can make the most amazing creations of culinary wonder while others can only seem to burn water? Is it the lack of knowledge? Skill? Is it just by sheer luck? Chance? Or is it something more profound that we cannot truly even begin to understand?

The Galley—Upper Street, London
I was introduced to The Galley, a contemporary restaurant and bar in Upper Street, Islington by a friend, and it's safe to say that the food and environment were spectacular. Not only was the food amazing, but so was the service and atmosphere of the restaurant.

Days After Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was a great day for feasting and family time. It’s a day to put away your differences and be thankful for what you have like your family and friends as well as your health and the food on your table. I did the cooking for Thanksgiving and every year no matter how many people come, I make a lot of food that fills up a six-foot folding table.

Seasonal and Local
It's been a long time, a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will! Sam Cooke does it far better than me, but its the sentiment that counts! Maybe it's my age, maybe it's the words of a nutritionist I once spoke to, or maybe it's that we are all needing to know that someone out there cares for what we consume, that has driven me to becoming an advocate for seasonal and local goods. The nutritionist put it in simple terms, "we live in a primarily damp and cold northern hemisphere country. In the autumn and winter you need hearty root veggies and iron rich greens. Why are you putting cold leaves and tomatoes inside your body!" I'd never considered it. My local supermarkets stock pineapples all year round along with the asparagus, coconuts, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and, well, basically anything that a large chain are prepared to ship from one side of the world to the other. We have become used to this affluence of veggies, and I am not advocating the banning of the pineapple in winter. What I do want, however, is for all of us to take our time to consider what it is we need, what it is we can do to support the local economy, our economy for goodness sake, and what is good for us.

Turkey Day Celebration
Thanksgiving is the beginning of the holidays where everyone puts some weight on for the winter. We have not gotten to celebrate Thanksgiving in a couple of years and usually, I do the cooking. I love planning the meal and doing the grocery shopping not to mention setting up the house for guests.

Classic Seasoning Combinations You Need to Try
My experience in cooking with seasonings came in four major categories. The first was, well, lack of seasoning: Kraft mac n' cheese, cafeteria food, occasionally tossing some onion powder in with jarred pasta sauce. Ah, college.

Things You Didn't Know About Mediterranean Food
With the many benefits brought on by the Mediterranean diet, it’s curious why more people around the world don’t consider adopting this diet for themselves. The interesting thing about Mediterranean cuisine and the people in this region is that their diet was never created for its health benefits, and yet it has caused the people to outlive their European and Middle Eastern neighbors. Mediterranean food indeed provides a wide variety of health benefits that many people around the world may not be aware of, and it helps that the food is just as tasty as it is healthy, too.

What's the Best Food?
In my opinion, the best food is steak. It can be added to anything and tastes great. You can make tacos, quesadillas and so much more with steak. Its even great with mashed potatoes and green beans. I personally like the steak medium-rare to rare. For me, that is the best way to consume my steak. Steak can range in cost. The better cuts, in certain areas, cost more, where as many lower quality meats cost less. No matter what quality your steak is, with the right seasonings and paying attention to how its cooked, your steak can come out juicy, tender, and flavored. Garlic and butter can be added to your steak to make it juicy on the outside.
