I Can Modify (and combine different) Recipes to Create a My Own Masterpieces

I entered the food blogging world having dined at numerous restaurants and spent a considerable amount of money on food. It’s been my very public declaration that I can’t cook and have no real desire to. In the past year or so, that’s changed. I still don’t aspire to cook professionally, but I’m now willing to whip something up in the kitchen occasionally.

Chef Noelle Carter, former Test Kitchen Director at the Los Angeles Times, personally invited me to a Thanksgiving event at her home known as Long Table Thanksgiving. I was honored and wanted to impress a woman with such culinary prowess, whom I admire greatly.  

By the time the desserts were served – around 7:00 PM or so – I was deep in conversation about cars and various other topics with Jeff (of Wreckless Eating) and George (of MotoManTV). My cheesecake was a hit, but unfortunately, it got devoured before I could take any glamorous photos.

I’m thankful, honored, and humbled to have received such astonishing approval from a chef I admire dearly, her guests, and my friends.
