C.N. Food Corner |

I have been so so absent! One of my advisors (my big sissy Jazz) has advised me to share with you some fun quick recipes since I am a cook too.

How many are you are carnivores? Vegetarians? Pescatarian? What ever your FOOD persuasion may be, the CNFC will feature recipes that I use whether it be personal, from food styling or family favorites.

Some years ago I worked on some food styling for 2 of James O. Fraioli's cookbooks. I also had the opportunity to work with one of the best food photographers, Jessica Nicosia-Nadler.

With the two kiddies, I am constantly making the SAME THINGS!!! Not because I have nothing in the FOOD BANK but because my thoughts are split into so many places that I go for the EASY. It doesn't help that my significant other eats simply, so it's not hard to be lax on the French influenced cooking skills.

Wild Alaskan Seafood, James O. Fraioli

So let's see...While I would like to share a recipe from this book, we can just drool over the photos and Ill add a simple seafood pasta recipe that goes over VERY well on dates! Anything I cook for Jo goes over well but don't let me tell him we're having escargot!!! While he can be a human vacuum in the realm of eating, these delicious treats are not his favorite. He also isn't into much shellfish, so my lobster, scallop and oyster days at HOME are OVER... OKAY OKAY, lets stay on track.
