Welcome to Kitchen Kat!

I love writing. I love food. Those are two interests that have stayed constant throughout my life. So why not combine the two? Perfect! Trying out different food is like almost like traveling; you get to experience different smells, tastes, and atmospheres. It brings a bit of the culture to you, even if you didn't leave your home. This blog explores Portland restaurants (plus any notable ones I encounter on vacation), recipes that worked out exceptionally for me, plus any other epicurean delights that come my way. Put any reservations aside, now it's time to chow down on some food for thought....

Tarte Aux Fraises

This is the first recipe I've attempted from Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child, and it is a definite success!
Sugar cookie-like crust, layer of red-currant glaze, cognac-spiked creme patisserie, and fresh strawberries--for my mom's birthday. I hope she likes it (but I'm not worried :))!
