Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

    Kevin, you are a very talented but even better, an imaginative cook. Thanks for always creating something out of the box (your closet kitchen).
    I am like minded in my cooking i.e. try something, it may be delicious.
    You have lots of must try recipes, keep em coming. I had your Mushroom Asiago Chicken this evening was very good.
