"Raised on a small farm in MA, Eagle Boy Scout, Harvard grad '80,
started cooking '82 in Newport, RI, traveled across the country and
around the world cooking and eating, surprisingly single, and looking
forward to traveling from Helsinki to Cape Town via Beijing in 2010."
Considering my beginnings it’s interesting the travel and experiencesr
I’ve had – not something I would have predicted growing up. I suppose
it’s about choices and grabbing opportunities as they come. That’srnexactly what I have done and it’s taken me from a yacht off the coast
of Malaysia to a resort operation in Aspen (plus 45 other States and 35rnother countries). Along the way, the one constant has been myrnconnection to food and cooking. While I have a variety of of businesses
and Inte
et endeavors, this blog is the place I’m reserving for just
me… and those that want to know more about what it can mean to select,
prepare and present the best ingredients in cooking.
And I’ll probably share some of those funny and outrageous adventures that have brought me here today!

Why Buy Organic? Beyond the Health Benefits
People have heard that organic food is better for them because it contains more vitamins and minerals and fewer chemicals than traditional food; however, when people buy organic they don't think about the side benefits of their purchase such as their positive effect on the environment.

Organic Pet Food - Why Natural Does Not Mean the Same As Organic?
Organic food enjoys an ever-widening consumer base and rightly so, as it is better for people and the environment. However, when it comes to feeding your pets, most people don't know organic pet food exists. Most people treat their pets like 4-legged children, some going so far as to literally clothe their pets. However, they feed them generic food which is billed as 'natural' and good for your pet.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Chef Marty Richardson
"We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are."
"You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients."
"I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation."
"You are successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile goal."
But then, you woke up from your daydream thinking..."yeah right...I can't even make hard boiled eggs! Suddenly, a a jolt of determination stikes you and you break out a few cookbooks to find something easy and elegant. You find a couple of recipes, with photos, and you have most of the ingredients, so you start rattling those pots and pans and crowding your counter with (almost) all the ingredients listed. You dive right in, undaunted, except for that little voice in the back of your mind questioning if you should have gone to the store first... You're about half through and suddenly the recipe doesn't seem so easy and the result is not so elegant.
Was everyone counting on you, but your efforts found their way into the garbage bin on your way to the supermarket to buy something "store bought", because there just isn't time to start the whole process over again? It's frustrating, isn't it?
We all know that cooking fresh food at home is cheaper and better for us, and Rachel Ray makes it look so quick and easy, but you don't understand why that dish didn't come out like the picture, when you followed the recipe step-by-step.
Being a chef for 27 years, and now that I cook every night for my parents, I have a much better understanding of exactly what you go through to put food on the table one, two or three times a day. Believe me, I have a new found respect and appreciation for homemakers who have to stop what they are doing, several times a day, when you suddenly realize it's time to cook, serve and clean up after yet another meal!
So what I've done, is develop a system to help the home cook overcome their culinary challenges. I call it the "Menu Rebel". The "Rebel" stands for "read between the lines". It begins with a visit to my blog where you post your cooking questions in the Ask The Chef tab. Then, I answer your questions every day by email, phone or instructional video, explaining where you went wrong, or what the recipe expected you to know. I perform this service for a few friends and neighbors and they love it! Now, I'm going to give you the same opportunity. I will create a community of food lovers and we can help each other learn more about food.
