A New Year, a New Blog!

I have decided to begin the new year a revamping of Reading Cuisine. This blog began as a blog devoted to reviewing restaurants primarily in the Central Ohio area and books. I have neglected the blog quite a bit this past year for many reasons. The most obvious reason is that I have an 8 month old son. It is sometimes difficult to get out and try new restaurants, and though I am still reading books, I am quite slow at finishing a book these days. What I am trying to say is I have not had enough material in the last year to write about.

The other reason I have neglected the blog and probably the more truthful reason is that I have just grown bored with the topic of books and restaurants. I still love reading and I still going out to eat, but writing about only these 2 topics has bored me recently. Therefore I am reformatting Reading Cuisine to what I hope will be a better and more interesting blog! I thought about scratching this blog and starting with something new, something fresh with a new name and everything, but after racking my brain over a name I realized that the name "Reading Cuisine" still fits into what I am trying to accomplish.

So now I am sure you are wondering what, exactly, do I plan on doing? Well I am changing to a blog that is about food, period. I have found myself cooking a lot more in the last year and something that I really enjoy! I plan on writing posts about things I have made, recipes I liked and posting the recipe. However, that is not all I plan on doing, because let's face it, that can get boring! I also plan on still keeping the restaurant part and will still do an occasion review about a restaurant. I also hope that this can be educational for my readers and I also plan on discussing different cooking techniques, tips, successes and failures I have had in the kitchen, food products or cooking utensils that I like, and I even plan on adding the occasional history of a particular food or dish, as I think it is interesting to learn the origins of dishes and cuisines. I also hope to have the occasional guest poster on topics like Beer pairing, Wine pairings, and other topics. I am by no means a professional cook or even a very experienced cook. I learned to cook my watching my mom and by trial and error. I believe that everyone can and should learn to cook and I hope that in sharing my own experience and little knowledge that I can help you become a cook, become a better cook, or maybe just entertain you for a few minutes each week!

I will always consider myself and my blog a work in progress so I always encourage feedback to help me be better. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll enjoy my blog!
