my name is claudia young and i sit at this desk in my home office, most days for many hours on end – doing all kinds of things. my life is, as most lives are – pretty multi-faceted. these days it swings between the songwriting world of nashville and opening a small home based cooking school. and then there’s the blog…

and my passion for food…

i love really good food… i grew up in a home where food really mattered and nyc had it all. i learned early what greatness tasted like and that tends to stay with you. i call it the curse of knowing the difference.

and i really like to cook…

but i don’t like things too complicated. i want my dinner to be simple – but i want quality. i admire this trait in every way. it’s the quest for the best. and the near best is just wonderful too, as is the discussion qualifying what that might mean.

and i struggle to maintain a reasonable weight. and that could just be an understatement of epic proportion…

so i cook.
i eat.
and i FRET about what i’ve cooked to eat

there you have it…
