Let's start off with something light

So here I am. New to the blogging scene so forgive me if I don't do it right. But that's the whole point right? To talk and show yourself to people? And if I do it my way, it's... more me and more true so it's right. Right?

Anyways, let me introduce myself for you who don't know me. I'm Mark or Daniel or Gabryel or Belcher or Brother or Son or Sous or Biggun or Hey you! or Chef. What ever you call me I don't really care, as long as you don't call me late for dinner! Haha...

I love food. I love cooking food. I love cooking food for people. I love cooking food for people I care about. I love cooking great food for people I care for. That's the meaning of cooking for me. The soul if you will. All food, from street food to 5-star, should be soul food. I'm not talking about "Deep south country cookin'". No. I'm talking about a meal that when you eat it, you not only taste the garlic, salt, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, paprika, etc. You taste the love and care of the chef. The little bit of his Soul that he poured into the food that you're eating. All good food is soul food because of that.

My reasons for starting this blog are so I can share my passion with you. Food is said passion. Cooking food is my passion. I am planning on doing a culinary tour of Europe using cookbooks I can find that I feel capture the true sense of a country, cooking through them, and becoming better attuned to the flavors of said country and its regions. So stay tuned as a world of new and exciting food opens up. And that's *fade in Good Eats theme music*

Cook to live; Live to cook; Glory to God in all,
Chef D.
