Hi everybody! I'm Damien Roberts. I grew up mostly in southern California and I've always had an interest in food. I wrote my first recipe before kindergarten. I used to hustle a lot as a kid so that I could learn to cook and eat well and now I'm keenly interested in sharing some of the wealth of health and happiness that I've found in creating and executing wonderful recipes over the years. I moved here from the Tampa bay area where I had a comfortable yet stagnant existence in order to learn how to butcher and utilize whole animals at work and at home. I fell in love with New England's farms/ breweries and people to say the least. I love the seasons and the variety that they bring!
