About me: I'm a self-taught home cook & baker and author of the Food Blog "A Feast for the Eyes". I live on the beautiful coastal area of the Monterey Peninsula of California. I'm undecided about which I enjoy the most-- learning food photography or trying out new recipes or techniques. Over the last several years, I've eliminated any processed foods or package mixes. Instead, I try to find ways to cook the way our grandmother's did-- from scratch! We have a small herb garden and grow our own tomatoes. Favorite cookbook authors: Ina Garten, Tyler Florence, Everyday Food and anything by Cook's Illustrated.

Favorite cookbook: Far too many to choose only one!

Favorite recipe: Ina Garten's Baked Scallops Gratin-- garlic!

The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook: 101 Asian Recipes Simple Enough for Tonight's Dinner

By Jaden Hair
Tuttle Publishing - 2009

This is a really easy recipe to make. It's my own fault, that I didn't use a quality flank steak; thus, my end result didn't turn out to be five-star. Still, the marinade flavor is very easy and tasty. Imagine my surprise, when I posted this on my blog (I still cringe at my amateur photography, at that time), and author Jaden Hair left a comment on my blog! I really should make this, again, as it is very good.
