The cooler weather and the kids getting more and more autonomous means I'm enjoying the extra time in the kitchen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love cooking but went through a phase of just the same old things over and over or so it felt, and all the beauty and joy of cooking had become a bit lackluster. I think we all go through it at some point (if not many times) in life. But it has felt so good to pull out my pasta roller, to chop up mushrooms in the mixer or laminating dough to make kouing amann for my parents when they visited. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Food and wine are creative forces for me. Cooking allows me to work with my hands to create something, to discover new techniques to break down how a recipe is made and nourish us at the same time. Wine allows me the peaceful meditative moment after fervent cooking to think about the flavours and aromas and sink into the meal. Both moments I enjoy and even better together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you are you feeling like you're on a cooking high or in more of a rut? Either way, what have been your favourite recipes this season? Let's share some ideas below in hopes we'll all eat a little better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (In the photo was a mushroom, garlic and ricotta ravioli that I made with a parmesan cream sauce)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #seasonalfood #cookingfromscratch #homemaderavioli #winephilosophy #photographeculinaire #stilllifefoodphotography
