hi there!
I’m Scott, and I’m thrilled you’ve found your way to Foodienoise. If you’ve ever dreamed of making gourmet food but haven’t had formal culinary training, you’re in the right place—because that’s exactly where I started, too.
My love for cooking began when I was 10 years old. It was a typical Saturday morning: cartoons on TV, my parents still sleeping, and my siblings were hungry. So, I whipped up some bright red pancakes. The joy on their faces that morning is something I’ll never forget. That moment sparked a passion for food that has only grown over the years.
how I learned to cook . . .
My culinary roots were planted during my first job at an Italian Trattoria (that’s Italian for Restaurant), where I learned authentic Italian flavors and techniques. From there, it’s been a journey of trial and error, hours spent watching Food Network and scouring cookbooks and YouTube videos for new techniques. Through lots of experimenting—and plenty of mistakes—I’ve gradually mastered the art of cooking.
about the blog . . .
After years of my family and friends telling me to write a cookbook, I instead decided to start this blog. I wanted to create a space where I could share my recipes and help others who, like me, want to create extraordinary food without formal training. Maybe help you avoid the mistakes that I made, oh so many times. On this blog, you’ll find recipes that span everything from gourmet dishes to quick and easy meals and everything in between. Whether you’re looking to impress at a dinner party or need something simple for a weeknight, I’ve got you covered. Here, you’ll find delicious, tested recipes and tips to make cooking easier and more fun.
my promise . . .
I promise to share quality, reliable recipes that you can recreate at home, along with helpful tips to make the process enjoyable. If you have any questions or comments, I’d love to hear from you! Thank you for stopping by—grab a coffee, stay a while, and let’s start cooking!
