About Me

My name is Christian Bowers. This site is about my cooking and eating habits, in and around Austin, TX.

All the pictures of prepared food on this site were cooked by me, photographed by me and eaten by me, my wife and friends. This site is a rolling record of my food interests, food successes and food failures. I have been cooking daily for friends and family since the early 1990’s and appreciate the creative process of assembling a meal and how it brings people together. My ramblings here on ingredients, food products, local events, kitchen gadgets, books, chefs, farmers or anything else on this site is straight from me. Unfiltered.

On the right hand side of this site there are some banners promoting local restaurants. These businesses are gracious enough to sponsor this site so that I can keep doing what i love to do. If you happen to be going out to dinner, please consider dining with one of them. For information about becoming a sponsor, click here.

I prefer to cook, but I have done other things.
