The Site and Me:
This site/blog is mainly dedicated to my search for great recipes. Please understand one thing as you continue on, I have been cooking around 9 years but I in no way claim to be a professional, far from it actually.
A little about me? I’m not an extreme food adventurer or a culinary chef. I haven’t even taken a simple cooking course at my local community college. I am just a young adult who took the responsibility of cooking from my parents at the age of fourteen. For awhile, I loathed it. It was simply something that had to be done because my parents were too busy with work and our farm. But one day, I decided to break out of the culinary box that I had restrained myself in and started searching the internet for new and exciting recipes to spice up the monotonous job that was my own.
After broadening my horizons, I fell in love with cooking.
Brief Story: Why Blog?
As I sifted through the multitudes of recipes on the internet, trying to separate good from bad, I realized that the small comments on the bottom of each recipe were helpful but weren’t enough.
You know what I mean.
You find a recipe that you might want to try so you look at the reviews and half say:
“This is terrible. Never cooking again!”
And the other half come back with:
“This recipe is amazing. My family loves it!”
By the time you are done reading you are so confused you don’t know if you should take a chance or keep searching. I wished at that moment someone out there would cook the foods, show how they did it, and then give an in depth review. (I am sure blogs like this exist but I couldn’t find any.)
**End of the story.**
What Kind of Cuisine and How You Can Help:
Keep in mind, my taste buds could be, and probably are, very different from yours so I am not going to promise that you will always like the foods that I, as well as my family and friends, find to be hits but I will do my best to give honest critiques.
I cook anything from fine asian cuisine to grilled cheese sandwiches and everything in-between. Believe me, I still have a lot to learn and many more recipes to try and that is where you come in. I will post reviews on my own accord but if there is a dish you are interested in hearing an in depth review about or if you think I will find it interesting, send it to me (via hitandmisscuisine@gmail.com) and I will cook it up and post my review on it.
A Favor and My Thanks:
I hope you enjoy the site, feel free to send me pictures and/or reviews of your experience with my reviewed recipes, and tell me whether you thought they were a Hit or a Miss. Also, check out my Tumblr page (hitandmisscuisine.tumblr.com) and follow me so I can follow you. In the end, I would just love to hear from you guys. If you like the site, tell me. If you hate it, tell me why. Thanks so much for visiting and again, I hope you find the things I post to be of use to you.
Happy cooking!
