For some time now, friends of mine have been encouraging me to start my own blog and I finally decided to take the plunge. Naoko is my Japanese name and is the only name my family refers me to.  As a child I remember my mom making dinner for us every night, most times it would it be Japanese dishes and on occasion, her spin on western food.  I love her cooking and so do many others – she loves to cook for people!  I think its her love for cooking that planted my interest in food early on.

Hence, my blog!  I love good food!

Everything from down home cooking to eating at 5-star restaurants – I’m always on the hunt!  So this is my journey and along the way, I hope to inspire a few more foodies out there 🙂
