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!

    Chef's Corner!

    Note: I'm excited to announce that the Faux Gourmet is now writing a semi-regular "Chef's Corner" column for Airfield Estates Winery, a family run winery located in my hometown. I'll create recipes to go with their wines, which will be posted on a blog on the Airfields website as well as distributed in their wine club newsletter. My first recipe pairs marinated beef kebabs and a wine and dried fruit reduction with a punchy red blend, the 2007 Bombshell Red. The sauce makes use of deglazing, a handy faux gourmet trick I've written about on WITP.) It is simple but delicious, in true gourmet style-- but don't take my word for it. Try it & see what you think!

    Great tips on the Airfield Estates website. I'm sure Christy will want to try it once she reads it. Keep it up!
