bachelor lifestyle meets foodie, exploring the best that NYC has to offer. i love experimenting with recipes based on the restaurant experiences and ingredients around me. spicy and healthy foods with strong ethnic influences. i cook thanksgiving dinner for the various expats that can't find a home on thanksgiving. entertaining one of my GF's best friends one random evening, only to discover that she was vegetarian. so i improvised an all-vegetarian menu, and she said it was one of the best meals she's ever tasted! the secret was LOTS of spices and tangy ingredients. the occasional trying of a new recipe, only to find that the "easy" vegetable side is horribly over-cooked. soggy vegetables are the hamlet of cooking tragedies.
