Port Wine Poached Pears with goat cheese & spinach oil
So, in my culinary travels, I might not have come across the fancy term that describes a dish or the exact method of cooking it....but, I can pretty much figure it out. Not to toot my own horn, but, I can flat out cook! In my experience, recipes come from all different places and inspiration, whether it be in the dry creek valley eating a spicy jam and bread with a bottle of wine or in downtown Chicago eating homemade salamis to sitting around a fire in our back yard, Food is life & life is food. You gotta do both, so, Get out there!
Cheers!
