There are some great food blogs and recipe websites on the Internet. As I started thinking about setting up a website devoted to food, I knew that there was going to be no way that I could ever hope to compete with some of the more established sites for traffic. My only goal is to have a little corner of the web were people with some of the same food interests can share what does, and what does not work for them in the kitchen.

There are established recipe databases with thousands of entries, and other sites with professional looking photography. These websites have been around for many years, have an established base readers and are well entrenched with the search engines. At the time it seemed to me that it was a hopeless task to create something from scratch. But, I am slowly becoming more comfortable with sharing what we run into when we are in the kitchen.  My only regret is that I do not get more time to write about what we encounter. 

 

As you can see from the cruddy pictures of the food I make in my kitchen, the images are all created with a cheap digital camera. Recently, I started playing around with image processing software, but photography, image processing, and image design are not my cup of tea.  Maybe someday, I'll go out and buy a decent set of dishware and cookware, along with better camera equipment. I also need a new kitchen table.  For now, what you see is what you get.

I do have favorite food sites that I visit nearly daily, and here is one that I recently found with outstanding recipes and design. The site is  found at redcook.net. This is a relatively new site, written and maintained by Kian Lam Kho.  He focuses more on Chinese food, in which me an Ann (who is from Taiwan) have a special interest.   He is a guy that loves to cook and eat just like us.  He lives in New York and has access to good ingredients.  The first thing that struck me when I found his site was his WordPress theme. The color choice  works well with the theme of the site and the food. The other thing is the photography, it is beautiful.

The site gets its namesake from his favorite dish which is  red cooked pork.
