Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself

I am a passionate home cook with an insatiable curiosity. I trust my palate and I am willing to try any food, at least once. Please join me as I begin my little food blog here on the Patch.

Cooking is like love.  It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.                                                                                                                ~Harriet van Horne

Well said, Harriet.  Amen, sister.

My name is Caroline Paul, and I love food. I love to shop for it, talk about it, read about it and prepare it, but mostly I love to feed people.  I equate food with love and happiness. In my mind, these things are interconnected and inseparable. Perhaps because I am Italian, perhaps because I am a mom, perhaps because I have a collection of cookbooks that borders on compulsion or obsession…who knows?

I have a friend who calls me cucina; it’s Italian for kitchen. I like it, it is endearing and it makes me laugh.  It fits and it describes the place where I feel most comfortable – it is my creative outlet.          

I would love to share with you – recipes, sources, restaurants, cooking tips and techniques – and I promise to do it with abandon.
