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.

    Your kitchen might be closet sized Kevin, but your recipes are great. I love following the progression you put into play, building one recipe on top of another. I should be that creative.
