“I’ve finally found a mate who can match my love for food.”
UPDATE: The Culinary Couple is MARRIED!
The Culinary Couple is equal parts scientist and media specialist, several servings of ambition and adventure, a dash of clever and wit, and always twice the spice.
The chemistry that originated in the lab on the first day we met soon spread into the kitchen. We started small — simply trying to impress one another with homemade casseroles and calzones. But shortly after, we initiated all-out Iron Chef Battles!
We enjoy experimenting with fresh herbs, seasonal ingredients, and all things sweet. Most of what we’ve made to date is modifications from cookbooks and recipe websites. But we’re anxious for the day when we can pull together an entire meal based on our own creativity and expertise!
To us, cooking isn’t just about preparing delectable dishes; it’s about laughter and love. It’s about making memories in bites bursting with flavor, taking pleasure in other cultures, and sharing a bottle of wine while sautéing, stirring, and simmering.
We’re two 20-somethings who are passionate about food and each another. We hope that you will join us as we chronicle our culinary adventures
You guys are just too damn cute!!! Nick has told us about your iron chef battles but to see it online is just amazing. Best of luck to both of you with your culinary creativity.
You guys are awesome! And so creative! I wish we lived closer to each other! Love K
What a fabulous web site — attractive, creative and FUN (just like the two of you!)! Not too many twenty-somethings are as varied in their dating activities as you two — from football tailgating to Iron Chef to the Metropolitan Opera! We are so happy that Nick has found someone who complements his talents and interests so well (and keeps him on his toes!). Can’t wait to meet you, Ms Emily! Hugs, Mom Wiley
What an amazing website….for two amazing people! We are looking forward to meeting Emily, and would love to host you both in Altoona any time at all. Love, Aunt Mary
Very, very, very creative. The e-mail was even more creative. As I read it I could only imagine your Mother out in CA reading it and having a stroke knowing you were going to get married and she hadn’t even met Emily yet. Also, the news in Fairfax is that Kirsten still hasn’t come out of the coma yet.
Question – Can we submit recipes for you to try and then evaluate? If there good, you add them to your recipe section and you can create a Family Cookingsite. Then you go public, get advertisers and sell your site for a billion dollars!! Then you can support all of us.
Love you, Jim and Vicki
That would be “if they’re good” not “there good”. Duh…
Dear Nick and Emily,
I love the website and reading about your adventures. The pictures are great.
I plan to print off your peanut recipes, sound (and look) yummy.
Glad I had a chance to see both of you at my Uncle Tom’s birthday party at the beginning of October.
The two of you have magic!!!
Joy
