Food For The Sake of Food
Where would I be without the blueberry juice oozing out of the flaky pastry?
If the grape tomatoes hadn’t charred just so, the halibut would have been left wanting.
Without the Guinness, my Irish stew would be…well, less Irish.
Y’all, I am undoubtedly obsessed with plating and eating thoughtful and delicious food.
I thought it would be fun to post some of my favorite bites a) because I’m hungry, and b) because I’m proud of what I’ve learned over the years. If you’re interested in how I put any of it together, I’d be happy to try and remember for you!
