Welcome to Fresh Parmesan!

The title of this blog comes from an interaction I once had with a customer while I was working as a cheese monger. The customer came to the counter and asked for “fresh Parmesan.” Seems like a simple request, except that fresh Parmesan (or, more accurately Parmigiano-Reggiano, its proper name) doesn’t exist....

Guest Blogging- The Beginning


I consider myself very fortunate to be surrounded with good friends and family that share in my appreciation of food (or at least appreciate my food enough to eat it without complaint), and who also have been very supportive of my efforts here at Fresh Parmesan (hi mom). It’s been a lot of fun thus far sharing my recipes, ideas, food-obsessions, cheese picks and the like with all of you and I hope I’ve inspired at least a few of you to get into the kitchen and try new things this year.

So, it’s thanks to your support that I announce the creation of my Guest Blogging series. From time to time, and starting later this week, I’ll be featuring recipes authored and/or recommended by FOFP (Friends of Fresh Parm), who, I’m happy to note, come from all walks of life and have widely varying degrees of culinary prowess. I’d like to extend an open invitation to any of my readers who wish to contribute to please do so; your recipes can be simple or challenging, quick-fix or all-dayers; veggie or meaty; original or borrowed—basically anything that you enjoy eating, I’d enjoy giving a spot on the blog to. Don’t for a second question if your idea is “gourmet” enough—please reference my Forgot-to-go-to-the-Grocery-Store Black Bean Soup if you think I’m harboring any grand culinary pretensions—because all recipes are welcome here.*

What do you say, readers? Are you game? Are you hungry? Do you want your 15-pageloads of fame? Send ‘em in!

*Side bar- Except for anything with bananas. I’ll reject all banana recipes flat out.
