I love food. I love cooking. I love sharing food. It's the one gift you can give someone that they take inside of themselves and forever becomes a part of them. Food is more than fuel. It's a feeling, a memory, a cure, a gift, a toy..... My recipes aren't exact. There's room for substitutions, discovery, experimentation and play. Anything can be healthy with a few tweaks, or comforting with a few more. Many of my recipies are veggie friendly with just the omittance of meat, never lacking in flavour. The sky is the limit -Variety is the spice of life!

Food for thought: Skillet vs. Sauté pan


Did you know that there's actually a difference between the sauté pan and the skillet?

The skillet has sides that flare out, while the sauté pan has sides that are straight. This gives the sauté pan more surface area. The skillet, however, is actually better for sauté than the sauté pan due to the sloping sides.

I'm a food nerd, and find this fascinating. Check out some more nerdy facts about these pans on Serious Eats.
