I'm no Rene Redzepi, but I like to forage for my food when I can. Maybe it's just the fact that I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and I like being outside. Can you believe that there's food growing outside in the forest that you can eat for free!

Valentine's Day is this Saturday and if you're not cooking a delicious meal for your significant other then you might as well just sit alone in a dark room eating a garbage bag filled with candy hearts. If you are planning on cooking, good for you, I've created a simple and elegant dish that is sure to please your sweetheart, before you please them.

It's the perfect time of year to stock up on stock. If you're a home cook you should/need to make your own stocks. They are incredibly easy to make and you'll be able to yield the delicious benefits all year long. There are so many things you can make with stock, risotto, soups, chili, sauces, and of course my favorite, a nice bowl of ramen.
