Presenting The Faux Gourmet!

The Faux Gourmet has been on hiatus for a while. I began this blog as a creative outlet during law school. After law school, I started other blogs on other topics and no longer needed this as a creative outlet, not to mention my diminishing free time.

But I kept cooking, kept taking food pictures and garden pictures, kept wanting to share the little tidbits of what I'd made. I occasionally did this on my personal blog (to which, I'm sure, people yawned and wondered when I'd post another cat picture). But I started to miss this space. Of all the blogs I have, this format, culled over several dedicated years and incorporating that adorable illustration by Sam Wedelich (see info the left) is by far my favorite.

So I'm back!

Expect short and sweet posts. Less food porn, more recipes and tips. If you want food porn you can look at any of the 5000 million existing food blogs. I don't have good lighting in my apartment and don't have time to style plates. I just want to make something yummy and eat it. If that sounds ok with you, stick around.

Looking forward to being back in touch!

    Bacony Goodness by Mistake

    Bacon Marmalade.

    Yeah, you heard me. I'm not saying more, other than: yum. The video, by fellow Brooklyn foodie Liza de Guia (@SkeeterNYC), speaks for itself.
    Watch the bacon marmalade video here.

    I, for one, am excited to get my hands on some of this & make some bacon marmalade-grilled cheese sandwiches.

    (Liza has a host of fine videos at Food Curated. Check it out!)

    Hah, I would like to say it is not as unique as he says it is. :P Bacon jam has been on the net for quite a while now! :) http://skilletstreetfood.com/baconjam.htm or you can make your own: http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/10/08/bacon-jam-your-wildest-dreams-come-true/ (I've used this recipe to make it)

    Thanks! I may have to make my wildest dreams come true & try making my own bacon jam!

    But I'm also going to buy Bacon Marmalade...after Lent! :)

    Besides, he looks so happy to share his product, you can't help but want to try!
