A Note on Spices:
Each of us has a unique palate when it comes to what makes the food we love. Spices rank high in the art and pleasure of food. Recipes give us a place to start. Make notes each time you make a dish and constantly adjust. Use your senses and engage your creativity. By doing this, you will gain confidence in adjusting recipes to make them stand out for you and your humans!
There is one spice I rarely use, and that is fresh rosemary. I don’t care for the smell or taste of it. Understandably, you won’t find many rosemary-forward recipes here. Yet this is the fun of cooking for your tastes. If you are a rosemary lover, add it in. Use sprigs to season your stews and marinate your steaks. Enjoy the flavors you and your family love.

Welcome to Foodie de Froid!
If you love real food, take pleasure in eating, and strive for mouth-watering flavor, you have come to the right place. Here the star of the show IS the food, presenting it in a way that makes it shine.
Tasting Experiences
We feature many appetizers and individual-sized recipes as a purposeful way to experience and share food.
Our mouth reacts to flavors in a transitional way. That first taste creates an exciting experience with the food’s intense flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Yet after the first few bites, our mouths and minds adjust, and that experience deadens.
Thus, the tasting experience! We served 14 consecutive courses at my last tasting party. Each was purposely selected to bring new flavors, textures, and presentations, creating surprises and wow moments throughout the night.
The Recipes
The recipes are documented with ingredients we love. Yet my greatest hope is to have you understand why the recipes work and eventually make them into your personal version using your favorite ingredients and presentations.
