Welcome to A Sous Chef's Nightmare. This blog is inspired by Julie and Brandon's desire to share their recipes and ideas with each other, and now with everyone else! I'm Jen, Brandon's wife, titular sous chef, and ghost writer, and Julie's co-worker/soulmate. Brandon liked the idea of the blog but doesn't have the time or inclination to write entries himself, so I volunteered to step in. After a couple of years of bringing food to work to share with each other, Julie finally decided we needed a place to keep track of all the cool stuff she and Brandon come up with in the kitchen. I am the lucky recipient of all their delicious creativity, but my place in the kitchen is also well defined: find recipes or make suggestions, help with any prep that won't cause my clumsy hands to become charred or mutilated, stay out of the way, fill my belly, clean up after. That last part is my biggest challenge. The food may be amazing but WOW the messes are legendary. How does splatter end up on the top cupboards? I will never know, and at this point I don't really care. Bring on the disasters as long as the food is this good!
In general, we attempt to keep our meals in the healthy/low cal range, but on occasion we dip our toes into what we like to refer to as the dirty. Brandon can be something of a dirty genius, often kicking up a fairly innocuous meal into something smothered in all kinds of creamy, cheesy, dirtiness. These will be few and far between, I assure you.
