Ok, I'm here, that's a start...

Hello all, I'm Todd Berliner, the last of the west coast Berliner's as a matter of fact. This should be an adventure, I have no idea how to write but I do talk alot - guess we'll see if my fingers can keep up with my mouth. I'm here to atlk about my cooking mis-adventures. I suppose, ike most people doing things they LOVE to do, I'm mildly delusional... Most of the time my "creations" are whack -- like some sauteed apples that reminded me of "Oh Powerful Candy" from back in the day -- but occasionally they are pretty good.

So what can I already do? Steaks, chops (lamb and pork), lots of fish. I sautee, fry, roast and grill. I do NOT bake, e-v-e-r. I even know a sauce or two. I haven't, until now, blogged at all so I am sorry if you've already passed out from boredom (hope you didn't hit your head on anything!).

I think I'm gonna cut this one short while I try to dig up some examples of past work. Not sure how "link love" works, or even what it really is, but i will tell you this: Carol, author of French Laundry at Home is my current favorite read. Clever as hell and effortlessly cool. Oh, and yea, a diary of cooking ridiculously incredible recipes from one of the greats, Thomas Keller and his team, that doesn't hurt at all either.
