About

I love to cook, especially for other people. I wish I could run a restaurant but I don’t really want that stress. I just want to cook. I wake up in the morning thinking what should I make for dinner????

I am Vegan and the focus on my cooking is good, quality and delicious vegan food.

I do love to cook from a multitude of chefs, cookbook authors like Harumi Kurihara, Kimiko Barber, Vatcharin Bhumichitr, Nobu Matsuhisa and Susanna Foo but I also like Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, Nigella Lawson, Charlie Trotter, Bonnie Stern, Bobby Flay, Madhur Jaffrey, Dave Lieberman, Thomas Keller, Jacques Pépin, Robin Robertson and countless others.

We do tend to like Asian cuisine but we do try and love everything.

My wife Belle and eldest Sean are not vegan so there will still be meat dishes posted as I cook for them. My youngest Dylan is basically a pastatarian, but we are working on that. Hayley is in the middle (actually a lot closer to Sean then Dylan) and is vegan. She is the one that got me going on this. Thank you Hayley!!!

We are a food family, we love food and all types. Please feel free to comment, make suggestions and offer help.

We home school Dylan by day and I teach martial arts (Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate-Do, Yoshinkan Aikido and ZNKR Jodo) by night and that is one-third of my passion. I love to cook and that is the second third of my passion and I love to spend time with my family, my wonderful wife  Belle, Sean 19, Hayley 16 and Dylan 7  and that is the final third of my life. I love my life. It just does not get any better then this. Okay, if I had more money it would be sweeter but this is a great life.

Life is great! I have amazing students and they never cease to amaze me. They are incredible.

This is an 0lder picture with some of my black belts. They are truly amazing individuals and  I have been lucky enough to be involved in their lives.

I am still working on this page – don’t know exactly what I want but I will keep working on it.

Thanks for being here!
