Hi, I’m Ernie. I started out as a line cook, turning out plate after plate through the dinner rush. From there I spent a number of years as a sous chef, and eventually I became Executive Chef of a high-volume restaurant in downtown Spokane. That kind of cooking teaches you what works: recipes that come out right every time, no matter how busy the night gets.
Now I cook at home in the Spokane area, and I’m still making a lot of those same dishes. This blog is where I write them down for you. Every recipe here is restaurant-tested and scaled for a home kitchen, with the tips and shortcuts I picked up along the way.
You’ll find everything from small bites and soups to main courses, sauces, sides, desserts and brunch. If you make something, leave a comment on the recipe and let me know how it went.
