You might be into cooking if...
- when you’re planning a vacation, your first thought is to research local ingredients and
access to a kitchen
- you have explained to your three year old child what mise en place is
- you get at least one person a year to join a CSA or go to the farmer’s market
- you’re excited when a friend with a food limitation comes over for dinner, because it will
be a fun challenge
- you have made a soup with leftovers that tasted better than a planned preparation
- you started a blog to gather other enthusiasts to gain the attention of culinary greats
I hope this made you think of some of your own. Feel free to post them in the comments.
I'm glad you're here to break bread with us. Please check out The Plan to begin your cook quest.

Thanks...
...to those who got me blogging.
I want to start by thanking my cousin who got us into the Harvard "Science and Cooking" kick off event because she knows how passionate I am about food. I thank Harvard University for recognizing a growing community interest in learning about developments in culinary science. Last, but not least, thanks to all the participating chefs for sharing their experience, research and wealth of knowledge with us.

The Plan
We're glad you're here to break bread with us. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it..."
We need your help to set up and report interviews on people who are passionate about food. I'm an avid cook with an insatiable appetite for gaining and sharing food knowledge. This marries well with my love of uncovering stories about how food has led people down life paths. My hope is that you will submit pieces on folks from all walks of life (chefs, home cooks, journalists, bloggers, grandmothers, grandfathers, etc.). Your contributions are welcome and the key to our success. Please email your ideas, possible leads and what you can bring to the table.
I need your support to build the OCQ community, so everyone can enjoy the fruits of our labor. Come along, it'll be a fun ride.
In the meantime, I will post what comes my way.
