Welcome (again) to the Machine

After sort of abandoning my Pittsburgh blog (since I rarely had that much nice to say, honestly), I have moved back to my hometown of Boston (thus the Beantown theme, to say little also of my increasing vegan tendencies), and continue my search for good, local, mostly (?) healthful and tasty food - at home, as well as out and about town. I have long alleged that Boston is a great culinary town, and I hope to prove it to you. I also claim that making great (and fast) food at home can be easy, and I hope to try to prove that one, too.

So this blog will be broader but food-themed. Boston-based but global in cuisines (since I like to try it all).

I am not a chef. I am a doctor. But I know that basics of how to make some stuff, and I know what I like - the rest is an adventure. Which is not to say that I forget who I am when I get home at the end of the day, and lately my home-cooking is focused mostly on a high protein, lower fat, lower carb, flexitarian diet. Lots of folks don't know what to do with tempeh when they get it home, and thus avoid it altogether - I have been buying it (and other stuff) and will try to share with your my successes (and gloss over the failures, but I digress...) That said, I care a lot of about healthy cooking, and healthy eating. But I am not too rigid about it, since I don't think that is good for me.

I hope you will share your discoveries and I will try to do the same.
