Welcome to Adventures In The Kitchen

Thank you for visiting my site.  This a blog, created by me, Cheri Liefeld.  It is where I share the recipes I am making in my kitchen.  All the recipes have been tested by me and my family and friends.

I believe much of life takes place around the table.  It is not just about food, it is a place we share our dreams, our days, our disappointments.  Relationships are strengthened, trust is built in that time we share both in the kitchen and around the table.

I fell in love with cooking when I was very young.  I still remember trying out recipes for my family from the Betty Crocker’s Cooking With Kids cookbook.  My mom really encouraged and humored me during my early adventures.  The funny thing is, I was quite the picky eater.  You could count on your hands the foods I would eat, most of them not super nutritious.

Over the years cooking has broadened my palate.  While I am a foodie at heart and love each step of the process; one of my greatest joys is sharing it with family and friends.   Meals are where great conversation can happen, where life is shared.  Whether it is in the home or at a restaurant, food brings people together and memories are created.

As a former personal chef and cooking instructor my passion is to encourage people to get in the kitchen.  I love to explore new recipes, new restaurants and new foods.  I love to try to recreate meals from favorite recipes.  My goal is that readers will be encouraged to get in the kitchen and create their own adventures.

My hope is that if you haven’t, you will fall in  love with cooking as I have.

Cheri
