Welcome to my Kitchen!

I’m not really sure where I picked up my interest in cooking, although Mom and Dad Holmes were certainly encouraging. Certainly, I’m no expert chef and I seriously doubt that I’ll have any restaurant pounding down my door tomorrow begging me to come cook for them. All the same, I think I’ve had pretty good results in the kitchen (no deaths yet) and I’m happy to share them with you here!

Here's what's up in my kitchen:

My recipe book contains some of my favorite recipes. Many of these recipes are posted as an electronic column called "Jim's Kitchen" on CompuServe's Wine Forum.

 I'll try and update this fairly often with new recipes.

I've stumbled across or had passed on to me several handy tips for the kitchen or cooking in general. Matching foods and wines isn't tough at all. Take a look at my Ten Commandments, a tongue in cheek approach to figuring out what the best wine to serve with a meal is.
