Here is my idea.

After much thought and speculation, I have come to a conclusion. I need to discover more passion in my life. I have many things that I feel passion towards. Things that I feel I should be more passionate about. Such as two very important things. Photography and Cooking.

I had an epiphany today while watching the film “Julie & Julia”. The stories that are portrayed in this film aren’t just about love and cooking. They are about finding passion. From this passion comes the love and the devotion and not to mention, amazing food. I want to take the same idea from this project and combine it with my passion for photography.

What I mean is simple: cook through a few cookbooks, and document as much as I can using my camera. And this blog, of course.

I am not a writer, nor am I a cook. But at the end of this, anything could happen. This is the beginning of my quest to become a domestic goddess, and to become passionate. To become fearless in not just cooking or photography, but to become more fearless in life.

I have yet to pick the books I want to cook through just yet, but I have a selection.

- Jamie’s Food Revolution - Jamie Oliver
- Nigella Bites - Nigella Lawson
- Back to Basics: Barefoot Contessa - Ina Garten

And I plan to purchase more as well. I will keep you updated on that. This may be difficult, due to the fact that I do not eat meat but thankfully I have plenty of meat-eating family members and friends that could help me out.

I’m going to go do some more research and continue to watch “The French Chef”.

bon appetit!
