Hi! I’m Tim!
I live in Arkansas, my adopted state, but I’m a Louisville, Kentucky native. I chased the corporate dream until settling in Fort Smith. Revisiting my industrial career, I would be remiss if I didn't say it had a major influence on my culinary tastes. Traveling and dining on an expense account was, without a doubt, the best part of my job. My beautiful, patient and understanding wife has followed me for a half century making wherever we are, home. A terrific son, daughter-in-law, two precious grandchildren and a fur baby complete our immediate family.
How I Began (seriously) Cooking
Beyond the manly art of grilling practiced for decades and a brief stint in the restaurant business, I decided to get serious about it. I wanted to enjoy foods tasted in far-flung places and to re-create dishes from favorite restaurants and chefs. With new-found skills, things progressed to creating my own delectable dishes and cocktails.
Why You Should Try My Recipes
All the recipes here, both food and drink have been personally tested by myself and perfected using friends and family, until ready to share with you.
Some of my recipes are classic favorites, others are off the beaten path and some exotic. Rest assured the instructions are detailed, step-by-step format in plain language. You don't have to speak Cordon Bleu and anybody can re-create them in their own kitchen.
The Cook Savor Celebrate Philosophy
Sharing a home-cooked meal with family and friends, telling stories and celebrating each other is what life is about.
