Where Comfort Food Happens!

Motivated by a dream to own a bed and breakfast in Vermont and have a great enthusiasm for discussing recipes, cookware nuances, and newly purchased cooking tools. I conceptualized “A Weekend Cook.” with a fervor for food, baking, and a fragment of a dream into a treasure trove of tantalizing comfort food recipes for one.

As a seasoned cook, I thrive on culinary creativity and exploration. The cornerstone of my creativity lies in my pantry, where a rich selection of ingredients is always on standby, ready to be turned into delectable dishes. I often find myself veering away from cookbooks, adding my personal touch and disregarding certain spices such as Bay Leaf to truly personalize each dish.

Whether you are cooking for one or two, here you will find the perfect recipes for one!

My culinary journey began in my mother’s kitchen, where homemade comfort food sparked an enduring love for all things food. My cooking skills evolved in Italy, working in a Paninoteca in the small town of Broni and learning the essence of quality ingredients and most importantly, how to make a single serving fresh tomato and basil sauce. This was followed by a stint in London, where I mastered the art of whipping up quick breakfasts for a bustling B&B.

My blog is a repository of small-batch and single-serving recipes, all crafted in this humble kitchen. I advocate quality over quantity and enjoy experimenting with slow cooker recipes and other comfort foods that are conducive to a small kitchen environment. Premade or packaged crusts and marinades find a place in my recipe as long as they complement the flavor profile.

With an avid passion for cookbooks, which I liken to time-traveling portals, has resulted in a collection of around 60 diverse books. Each one, from antique to contemporary, holds a cherished memory.
