Kitchen vs. Kitschen

Let’s get one thing straight. This is not going to be like your typical food blog with awesome professional looking photographs and that whole shebang.

I just enjoy cooking. I more often than not, have no time to, or forget to take photos while I am cooking and will end up with pictures of just the finished product or even half eaten food (I know, how barbaric)

I have no formal training and I cook by taste and feel. I think I have one gift, and that is I know what tastes good together. Other than that, I am a blind woman feeling her way around the kitchen.

The name Gourmet Kitschen is is a play on words and proof of how ironic and weird I can be. Kitsch has been said to be the opposite of art- a cheap, “slapping together” of things and passing itself off as art. I must say my cooking escapades are quite the same- a slapping together of random things I may have tasted before, wanted to taste or imagined.

I know that if I had access to the best kitchen and the best equipment, I would probably still cook the same way- messy, irrational- but filled with love and excitement.

The good thing about kitsch is if done the right way, and if it is meant to be that way-it can actually be pretty good :)
