Food for thought.



 I cannot distinctively remember when I began cooking, or even why I started. It has become one of my favourite daily activities and I am often thinking about my next meal. 
I had the benefits of dating a chef who exposed me to 5-diamond dining, bizarre ingredients and a wealth of knowledge. Also, planning and tending to my vegetable garden for the past few years has increased my love for food and its my inspiration during the warmer months. I'm constantly picking up food magazines and browsing through cookbooks wherever I go.  Talking to people about food at work (I'm a server), asking questions and listening to how people make recipes they like are ways that I enhance my knowledge in the cooking world. 

But enough about me, onto the good stuff.

Dinner tonight: Butter Chicken
Most essential part-the sauce.
chopped chicken breast
On this extremely cold, winter day I was inspired by the warm, welcoming flavours of India. I was craving something stew-like that was hearty and filling. The kind of food that warms you from the inside out. I decided on butter chicken. I looked online for some inspiration and came across a fantastic recipe that seemed straightforward and it really was.
