From the Court to the Kitchen is on the go!
Hello everyone!
I'm not sure how these blogs actually work! I don't know nothin' bout birthin no blogs! I do know how to cook and am pretty darn good at it. I'll make an honest effort to post a blog at least once every 2-3 weeks. I'll write about my exploits in the kitchen, my cooking show, book signings and a host of other noteworthy things to write about. I will also write about my favorite thing in the world...FOOD!!!
I want you all to think of me as a guy that is learning how to cook as the days go on. It is my deepest hope that I can teach you what I have learned. I will show you all how easy this cooking thang actually can be! Your family and friends will lower their eyes to greatness when you emerge from your kitchen with those wonderfully plated and prepared meals! Cooking, like everything else, takes a little time to master. I shouldn't say master because most folks never master it, but we do learn how to do it pretty dog'gon' good!
I am a self taught chef and routinely will mix and match flavors that simply work well together. I don't know the rules of the kitchen and as a result, I don't know what I can't do! What a concept! No rules in the kitchen! Just great food, simple to prepare and the taste will knock your socks off!
Feel free to comment on my blog. As a matter of fact, I insist! If you are ever in need of a recipe, feel free to ask. I don't believe in keeping kitchen secrets (outside of my line of spices!). If you need a recipe developed for that special day, just tell me what you are looking for and watch my magic! There is no charge at all. I simply enjoy creating succulent and simple dishes to prepare. Southern, Italian, French, Japanese...it doesn't matter! I'll try anything...well, outside of bugs and creepy stuff like that! Sorry, but I ain't that open minded!
Well, saddle up and let's enjoy this wonderful ride. Cook books, cooking show, interviews, cookoffs, cookoff fundraisers and a host of other things that I would be proud to include you in! Let's grow together and have a ton of fun! Be warned...I laugh at myself often and will probably laugh with you as well!
Let's start with a roll call off of the first blog. Just leave your name and where you reside...maybe a little bit about yourself so we can warm-up to one another. My name is Marty...and I cook often....and pretty good!
From my court....to your kitchen!
Enjoy!
Chef Marty
