Welcome to my blog!

Why a blog?
Ever since I moved to my new place, I have been using my kitchen a lot, trying out recipes and experimenting with ingredients. Very often, I forget what I have done and what I have modified. My friend Michele, who herself started a cooking blog, encouraged me to record and share my experiments in the kitchen here.

What is the meaning of La cuisine de Grue?
It translates from French to Crane's Kitchen. It's my snobbish way of naming the exploits in my kitchen. My place is on Crane Road. Since this is where my culinary journey begins, I thought it is apt to name my blog after it.

Where are these recipes stolen from?
I am a fan of Food Network stars Giada De Laurentis, Alton Brown and especially Ina Garten. I used to follow Ina Garten's recipes to the tee.  Now I use them as a starter recipes to which I add my own preferences and adjust to the ingredients available in our neck of the woods. While I get many of recipes from the Food Network, I do get inspirations from everywhere.

The recipes I present here are the ones I think are easy to replicate and are successful enough that I would make for myself again.
