When I was being marked for my final exam at the Cordon Bleu culinary school in Paris, one comment from my instructor chef stuck in my mind. When he first looked at my dish that I had prepared for the final exam, he said: "Well, it looks good, but does it taste good?' I will never forget that comment because it is this very point that separates a good cook from a mediocre one. To my good fortune, he liked the taste of my creation as well!

This fact is very true. You love your grand ma's cooking because it is always wholesome and good. It is not the look of her food that excites you, it is the taste. Same thing when you eat at your favorite restaurant. It is the food that brings you back more that anything else.

Taste in food and wine has always been the number one priority for me . Creating food is only the first step in cuisine, however it is the taste of that food that leaves a lasting impression. This is equally true about wine. There are many "expensive wines" out there in the market, but many of them do not live up to their quality or expectations, and are not impressive in taste, to say the least. No, you do not have to pay a fortune to enjoy a bottle of wine, you just have to know what to get and become more familiar with the types of wine that are always impressive in taste.

Yes my friends, it is the taste in food and wine that makes our lives more tastefully enjoyable!
