about Dave

I love the physical, chemical and sensory aspects of food, I'm a chemist at heart.  I also earned a phd and worked in drug companies in process development.  I'm stuck at a desk now, so my bench work is executed in the kitchen.

I bake, bbq, brew, measure compulsively, hypothesize and test.  I like process intensive food (bread, pasta, etc.),  food with only a few ingredients that require thoughtful execution.  The content here is written sloppy and the images are mediocre.  This site is my electronic notebook I decided to share.  I love failure as much as success.  The best food comes from the biggest mistakes.

Thanks for stopping by.
