~ Epicurious ~

“A person who lives life in the constant pursuit of great food, drink, debauchery and open-minded adventure.”

I have always liked this descriptor and believe or not I did a brief 2 year hiatus from Corporate America as a Personal Chef. My business was named “Epicurious Ethel’s” in honor of the fun loving side kick Ethel from the TV series I Love Lucy.
Below are some of my favorite recipes… Bon Appétit!
