Mj Designs and Culinary Creations

"I remember my first recipe," he says, "I created it while I was on punishment." "When I start cooking I take the same approach as when I start a piece of art, just like sketching out ideas in a sketch pad I jot down any ideas that pop in my head as I go about my day. The creative process allows me to take what may be a bad idea, and tweak it, until I get a dish that is flavorful and attractive. I remember something my Mom told me, 'I don't care how good some food may be if you serve it to me and it looks messy and just slopped together I will not eat it.' She lived by those words when it came to food, which is why I try my best to deliver beauty that is perceived by the eye and the tongue." - Matthew Jenkins 2011 -
