If you know me, you know that I love good food and I love to cook. I don't however like to stick to recipes too much because personally I find measurements and specific directions too restraining which is why I'm not good at baking. I do like the idea of recipes so I'm constantly flipping through cook books and clipping out things I want to try. My best friend however is an expert in the kitchen and I'm amazed at the ways she can take recipes from
Food and Wine or
Bon Apetit and make complicated dishes at home! She's also the best home pastry chef I know and has started a
blog.
There's just something so artful about a piece of fruit, a platter of cheese, or fresh vegetables from the farmers market. I love going to the store, finding what's in season, or something that looks especially fresh and creating something delicious to eat.

| Pistachio macaron from Bouchon Bakery - so delicious but never in a million years would I have the patience to make something like this. |
