The problem with RDFP

RDFP, or Recipe Driven Food Production is an endless trap...

If all you know how to do is cook from a recipe, you have 3 main problems...


  1. How do you know the recipe is good before you spend your time and money on it?
  2. What if you don't have the exact ingredients?
  3. What if you don't like the way it ended up?
All recipes do is get you to follow a path without any clear understanding of why, and what to do if something goes south. Thy make you dependent on buying the next book, magazine or watch the next TV show on Food Network. 

Im all for reading, and learning. But Im not going to be dependent on someone else to know what to make for myself and my family. I love to see what new ideas and concepts are out there, but I want to be empowered to innovate and create too.




Lets Try This...

Someone called me a "Food Hacker" on Sunday. And I had to admit... I liked it!


So I figured I would write articles and share information Ive gathered over years of reading, watching, and making food. I love to make food and share it. It is a creative outlet for me, as well as a way to serve my family and friends. 


Ill try my best to put information on here that is relevant, as well as approachable. Let me know how Im doing...
