The Neurotic Gourmet. We feed because we love.

This is my blog. It’s about food. The food I make. The food we eat. The food we talk about. The restaurants we eat at. The people who cook for us—or who share their recipes with us.

I love food. My family loves food. My friends love food. In my opinion, food equals love, and that’s where the tagline for this blog comes from.

This is a cook’s blog, not a chef’s blog. Some recipes and ideas will be from scratch—I promise they won’t be too difficult. Others will be shortcuts to quick, delicious food. After all, we’re all busy all the time, and cooking isn’t always the top priority.

Because I have high cholesterol and I love working out, I try to make healthy food. But, there are times when I’d rather eat something a little fattier and then run an additional 10 minutes on the treadmill. For me, the good food is worth the extra effort.

No one taught me how to cook: I grew up with a loving mother who was very good at opening cans of vegetables to serve with pan-friend steak. Remember TV dinners? We had them every Friday. Now my mother lives in Florida and goes out to eat for every meal—or eats leftovers. I, on the other hand, spend much of my free time with food. Because I believe with just a little effort and some loving care, anyone can make delicious meals.
