Recipes
As a former kitchen professional, I have a lot of experience preparing dishes and creating recipes. I think the experience of cooking should be enjoyable and the results of your efforts should be enjoyed. Cooking is an expression of creativity, a means to take care of ourselves and one another, a way to show love. The recipes you find here, at The Folded Apron, are created to be simple yet elevated, delicious, and sometimes challenging, but not the least bit intimidating. Everyone from beginner foodies to seasoned home chefs will find something to suit their tastes. Using easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions you will assemble your ingredients and prepare foods and beverages that nourish the body and the spirit.
A Recipe For Adventure
My philosophy is that amazing cooking should be an adventure and accessible to everyone. This doesn’t mean complicated, but rather simple, straightforward, and impressive. My library of recipes comes with professional culinary tips and tricks, ways to adapt and modify recipes for different dietary restrictions, cooking appliances, and locations, and industry-based explanations to help you have an enjoyable cooking experience with outstanding results. Try your hand at duplicating well-known dishes and cocktails from renowned establishments, recreate nostalgic comfort meals that take you back, impress your friends and family with culinary feats of flavour, and challenge yourself to try something completely new. You can follow a Folded Apron recipe to the letter for guaranteed results, or you can tweak recipes to make them your own. Have fun, cook something delicious.
With recipe options that use what you already have at hand to recipes that require expeditions to local ethnic food shops, farmer markets, and specialty stores, The Folded Apron will take you on a culinary adventure, exploring the science and the art of cooking, baking, and drink preparation.

Recipes FAQs
My recipes run the gamut from completely original to “influenced-by”, popular dish hacks, tweaked and improved, adjusted for specific locations and elevations, and recipes that honour innovators and OGs. Read the musings that accompany each recipe to learn more about why I was inspired to share it with you.
Sadly, I have an anaphylactic allergy to anything that lives in water including fish, shellfish, crustaceans and molluscs. For this reason, I do not eat or cook seafood and I cannot test or improve upon any of the recipes for these dishes. My own repertoire of ocean-centric dishes is limited, but perhaps the future of The Folded Apron will include collaborations with other food creators who know seafood better than me. Stay tuned!
