Opening Day

Hello! This is my first entry in my new blog about food and everything else that goes along with. I really want to make this a fun blog where I can talk about food I've made, food I've had, food I was confused about and everything else food. I'm not an expert by any means. I was a cook for 8 years, in the industry for 10, my family is full of great cooks and I think I know some people who eat food and enjoy it.

I'm going to begin my first entry with how excited I get when I cook meat properly. I guess you could say it is the sunshine of my life. I had never really been a huge fan of pork but while working at a local restaurant I learnt how to cook pork tenderloin perfectly. It's really the most satisfying feeling ever. It's like I am giving birth to the perfect child.

I'm sure everyone has their own way of doing it but this is how I like to do it. Usually I like to put some kind of herb or spice rub on it and then I sear it in hot oil on all sides, put it on a pan and into the oven for about 8 min at 500F. I do it at a high heat because when you're working in a kitchen, the oven is on the same high heat for the whole service. It's how I was taught so why change a beautiful thing?! So needless today, I love pork in my oven.

Phew, I think that went well for a first entry? If you don't think so then feel free to not comment! For those of you who liked it, leave a comment! Give me suggestions! Tell me your stories!

Your number one non food expert,
