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....

Smitten Kitchen's Nectarine, Mascarpone, & Gingersnap Tart

No, I'm not as good a photographer as Smitten Kitchen's Deb is. But that's not the point of this post. The point is, I'm going to a barbecue tonight, and was instructed to bring a side and dessert. Derek's in charge of the side, so I needed to come up with a dessert. This is what I came up with. And, I believe, it's a thing of beauty, if I do say so myself. It came out perfect. I'm looking forward to eating some. And, I used Lord Grey's Peach Preserves (see previous post) that I made as a glaze for the nectarines in this. Oh boy!
