Hungry Hogareno

about me

Semi-professional--have worked in restaurants for 25+ years and working in the kitchen is my best therapy. I love to try new and different ingredients and techniques and parse out most of my experiments to friends & family and any other willing guinea pigs.
My favorite cookbook, right now, is "The Art of Simple Food", by Alice Waters--amazing recipes, information and advice for any level of cook.
My favorite restaurant is Huggo's on The Big Island of Hawaii--the food is pretty good, but the ambience and location are the best seasoning.

Favorite Foods:

Mexican (authentic) and Tex-Mex too. Thai, Vietnamese and Indian. Love seafood, chiles and dishes that utilize layers of flavor. Only a very few things I won't eat or don't care for...I like my food and I love to try new things...and when anyone is willing to cook and share the fruits of their labors---that makes them the best cook I know.
