About
My name is Jeremy Bacon. I have been cooking since I was ten gaining most of my knowledge of preparing food from cooking shows, cookbooks, and a host of incredible home cooks. I have traveled extensively throughout the world and I have never been shy about asking people for recipes and, even more importantly, if I could stand over someone’s shoulder and watch them prepare a meal. This has included working my way into many small restaurant kitchens. I tried making food preparation a career; I worked as a private chef for a year and I have done a bit of catering. Like most people I have to earn my living outside of the kitchen. But I still find time to prepare meals on a regular basis. I hope the information I share will add variety to the meals you enjoy at home.
I live just north of Dallas, Texas with my partner Will, two cats Boston and Toonces, and a refugee parakeet Pee Wee. We live in a bungalow style home with a small kitchen garden for herbs and greens, and a slightly larger garden for vegetables.
A few years ago Will bought me a commercial gas grill which carries the bulk of the cooking responsibilities, especially in the summer when it is very hot in Texas. The rest of the cooking is done in a galley kitchen which always seems way too small. In my case this is probably a good thing since I manage to fill up whatever counter space I have with whatever I am cooking at the time. Smaller means you have to clean as you go. Which makes Will a happy man.
Will is the resident baker. Which is also a good thing as my baking skills include lemon bars and baguettes. You cannot live on lemon bars alone!
