Welcome

Welcome to my blog. My blogging journey began about in August 2009 as a photo-a-day blog which has since transitioned to combine my love of good food and photography. Today, using as many local and fresh ingredients as we can, my boyfriend and myself spend time researching recipes, making our own adaptations, cooking, taking photos, eating, and finally reflecting on all or part of the above listed process here. I hope you take the time to not only read and look at our photos, but please cook some of the recipes yourself. You are invited and encourage to leave feedback as we continue our culinary journey!

Homemade Pasta Success!

No matter how good of a cook you are, there are times where you fail at completing your recipe the way you had intended. Throughout this blog I had reported two pasta making failures. The first, last summer, before we had a pasta maker and tried to make tagliatelle by hand. It was simply impossible to roll the dough thin enough. The second, when we attempted to make ravioli and the dough was too dry.

This time though, we finally succeeded. Using our tagliatelle recipe posted the first time we attempted to make pasta, we managed to roll out the dough and served our homemade pasta with homemade bolognase sauce.Tasty!

Today we will be giving the pasta maker another shot and will be making homemade tortellini. Hopefully they turn out better than our ravioli did!
