Closet Cooking is now 1 year old! I can’t believe that a whole year has gone by already. Time really does fly when you are having fun! A year ago, if you had asked me if I thought that Closet Cooking would still be around in a year, I would not have known the answer. But here we are a year later with over 400 posts and I find it hard to imagine not food blogging. It seems that food blogging has gone from simply being a hobby to being a highly enjoyable obsession. 🙂
The path that I have been traveling on this last year has been a very tasty road of learning and discovery. In this last year I have discovered so many new foods, flavours and cuisines. I have also learned a lot about cooking and baking and a little a bit about food photography. I know that there is still a lot for me to learn and discover and I look forward to the tasty adventures ahead.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my readers for your continued support. I would also like to thank everyone that comments on Closet Cooking as your help and words of kindness and encouragement mean a lot to me!
Before I decide to rewrite this post yet again, on to the food porn. These were some of my favorite dishes from the last year.

Kevin…Congratulations!! As I’m sure you know, there are a TON of food blogs out there to choose from, but yours never fails to be at that top of my list when I start bopping around. I think it’s because you post so often and are always trying such a huge variety of dishes!!
Thank YOU for all of the inspiration…keep up the great work:)
Congratulations! I agree with Dani. I love your blog. I just celebrated my “one year” of blogging as well. Your success is inspiring. Keep blogging, because I have enjoyed the ride.
Congrats Kevin and with this anniversary, I see you’re opening up with your writing and finally making your blog more personal with a pic of yourself.
You’ve been very open about trying new dishes, pushing your limits and I’m sure we’ll see more great food and some pleasant surprises.
Kevin,
I just recently (in the past couple of months) stumbled on your blog and I already check every day to see your most recent post. I love the variety of dishes you try and the ‘theme’ that exists b/c there is always left overs or new ingredients in the pantry. Keep up the good work – I, for one, will be reading.
Cheers,
G.
Congratulations on your blog birthday! And your favorite dishes look all so yummy!

I completely agree that blogging becomes a happy obsession and it encourages you to try new flavors and foods. I look forward to what the future years of your blog hold!

A very happy blog birthday to you Kevin! I try to check a good many food blogs each day, but yours I always visit. Your pictures are mouthwatering and your recipes top notch. Like you, I find food blogging has expanding my culinary knowledge and certainly dressed up my dinner table.
