Author Biography

I started writing Small Foods about two years ago. I've been cooking for about 15 years, maybe more.My wife worked in major ad agencies as a creative director. I worked in technical marketing. She went home when the work for the day was done. She would call to let me know approximately when she would get out. I left at about 5 PM with everybody else. She had an hour commute, mine was usually short. When I arrived home I would start the dinner. When she arrived, I would plate it up. One evening, while making spinach pie, I thought about just how much of this pie went to waste. There was only two of us and it would only keep so long. So the next time I made it, I made it in two 7 oz. ramekins. It was perfect, just the right size for dinner with a salad and no left overs. After I retired, I started cooking other foods in ramekins. And after adjusting for a small size (proportionally you need more spices not less) they came out perfect as well. My wife commented that I should write a cook book. So I did. I wrote the recipes, shot the photos and she did the graphic design.
