Welcome to my new home on the web!

I started Taste With The Eyes in June of 2007 as a creative outlet, a way to share my restaurant experiences, and connect with the global foodie community. As always, it continues to be a great joy to share my culinary photography and cooking & entertaining adventures with you.

All photos are my originals unless specified. The food preparation photos are an alternative to giving detailed recipes, as when I read a cookbook, I usually cook by intuition from the picture. Maybe you do, too? If you would like more specific details on a recipe, just let me know and I will do my best to get them for you.

Within the last couple years my garden has really grown. I planted more than 20 trees, including a Citrus Salad Tree, Mexican Lime Tree, Kaffir Lime Tree, and dozens of roses too. Since I take my camera from the kitchen and into the garden often now, I decided to add a “Garden Gallery” to my blog as well. My little Boston Terrier, Wilson, and I walk daily, covering this charming corner of Los Angeles. I post photos from our treks on my other blog, San Pedro Daily Photo.

Finally, I also added a Heart Healthy section to my blog. In July 2009 my total cholesterol count was 280. I started on a heart healthy regimen including diet and exercise, and by December 2009 my total cholesterol count was 209. I am determined to get it below 200. If you are interested, you can read a little more about it on this post. I look forward to continuing to share delicious heart healthy meals, and I would love to hear about yours!
