Here's an entertaining look at Rich's meals - a beginning cook with exceptional results.
Rich, whose picture is on the Christmas page as a little boy, has grown up into a blossoming chef.
Not at all interested in cooking when he was growing up, now that he's away from home and, in fact, half way around the world, he has suddenly developed a real passion for cooking.
The page links below are taken from his emails home. I so enjoyed reading them that I wanted to share them with you. He relates his cooking experiences, especially in his efforts to cook German style food including the traditional German foods that he grew up with. (I guess it is a way of bringing "home" to him when he can't visit.)
Not only are his emails interesting to read, he outlines how he takes recipes and changes them according to the ingredients available or to the tastes of his guests.
I hope you enjoy traveling through his culinary adventures as much as I do.
