Welcome to Gourmand Bleu! As anybody who knows me can tell you, I'm kind of sappy when it comes to cooking; it really means a lot to me. If you came here from The Blue Room, then you probably know me mostly as a game designer, but gaming and cooking have a lot in common! They're both about getting friends around the table and making them feel good, so I decided there should be a portion of my website set aside for cooking, a subject for which my passion is second only to that I hold for my wife, Sandra. Cooking nourishes, shows affection, entertains, and gives comfort. "Epicureanism" is a philosophy that holds that peace and pleasure are the principal aims in life, and that sounds good to me. This page is meant for anyone who enjoys good food and good company. As the site grows, it will include original articles, recipes, and links relating to eating, dining, health and lifestyle. Come back often, and drop me a line now and then! |
On The Menu
So far, I have seven of my food articles (plus some stray recipes) available on the page. More is on the way! Articles
Stray Recipes
For the Beginner . . . I'm hoping to add more material specifically for novice cooks in the future, but for now I think you'll enjoy the two small ones I can offer: My (recently updated) Selecting A Cookbook page is here, along with a primer on Making Chicken Stock . . . Once you have a good cooking library, you're on your way, and if you can make good chicken stock, you can make just about anybody happy and cozy with broth, soups, stews, gravies & sauces. Get cookin'! |
Links
The three food sites I use most often are SOAR, the Rec.Food.Recipes Index , and The Kitchen Link - an amazing search engine and archive. The first two are online cookbooks - eclectic collections of recipes from a variety of online food authors. The third is your jumping point for nearly any question you might have about food. A site that has recently grabbed my attention is Epicurious Food, a great site for recipes, cooking tips, and (most importantly) the excellent Epicurious Dictionary, which will tell you anything you need to know about any food or ingredient, and provide links to recipes using it.
