I have been involved with nutrition research for my entire
professional life, looking into the nutritional role of metals like iron,
copper, and zinc as well as carrying out clinical studies in childhood obesity
and diabetes mellitus. I’m retired now, and so I have become more interested in
things that taste good than things that are good for you. At the same time, I
come from a family of good cooks: my mother was a school lunch lady when they
baked their own rolls and whipped up hot casseroles instead of thawing
something from a restaurant supply company by popping it in the microwave; my
wife won me with her spoon bread and blueberry pie; one daughter still makes
her family meals from scratch; the other daughter is a professional chef; and
even my son gets in the act with some mean biscuits. Trying out classic cooking methods holds
special interest to me – like making your own hominy. At the same time, my general passion for
photography has recently become more focused on macro and food images, so in my
dotage, I have finally found the time to combine my three enthusiasms for
writing, eating and cooking, and image making.
Darryl… thanks for leading me to your very inviting blog and biography…
the images are well designed… adds to the invitation to actually prepare meals inspired by your recipes.
It is a pleasure to see you combining your “3 enthusiasms” and doing it
so well.
Cheers!
