I love to cook fresh, delicious meals and take inspiration from my local Southern California farmers' markets. I tend to cook by smell/taste/touch more so than exact measurement, so I apologize for some of my recipes lacking strict quantities of ingredients. Many of the original recipes here are creations I've whipped up in my kitchen, often inspired by tastes I grew up with, delicacies I've sampled in restaurants or recipes I've read over the years.
