The kitchen really is...
... the center of my world. Whether I'm baking bread, making a delicious meal, or relaxing over a cup of tea, it's where my heart is. It's where my soul is most at peace. I love the meditation time that kneading bread brings, and the happiness that I see on the faces of those who eat my foods.
This website is a repository of recipes that I've tried, and that I want to try. You'll find internal links that lead to recipes with my own commentary (like my Buran recipe) about how they turned out. There are also external links to recipes I haven't yet tried, but that are on the list of things I want to make at some point. Each recipe will contain information about what era it comes from, as well as a bit of history associated with it.
I hope you enjoy your time in my kitchen. Pull up a stool, grab a mug of tea or broth, and come chat!
