You’re here.

You probably like good food and long-winded, judgmental rants. Hopefully you also like to laugh and learn new things. It is my intention you leave here a better cook than before. After all, this is a cooking blog of sorts.

Les Food Dorks began years ago when I was determined to teach every person in my life how to be a better cook. Determined, and unpleasantly stubborn about it. And if I felt I couldn’t teach you, you’d be relegated to the “keep me company” chair in the kitchen; not the worst place in the world but who wants to be told “sit there and entertain me”?

Needless to say, 9/10 friends were parked in this chair. My behavior, however well-intentioned, would not endear me in the kitchen and I’ve since learned to chill out. Or at least now I know that handing someone a glass of wine while accompanying me in the kitchen is the kindest way of telling them that I don’t want or need their help.

On this website you’ll find all the services provided by Les Food Dorks (weekly meal prep, holiday catering, private events and chef-at-home experiences) as well as a cornucopia of opinions on your poor cooking skills that you sorely need but certainly didn’t ask for. Here, I will show you that seasoning is nothing to stress about and you needn’t fear sharpening your knives.

So glad you found your way here. I have a lot of opinions (and recipes!) to share with you.
