With Monica Jane moving on to her own site I’ve decided to change things up ever so slightly.  The most obvious is the new theme, the second is the addition of a new author – Eileen Devlin. While her posting may be slow, another posters are always welcome to join.  Just email me.

Also, I have made the decision that I’ll be posting at minimum twice a week.  I will be targeting Sunday and Wednesday.

Thank you all for supporting the site, and for sharing your thoughts and suggestions on dishes.  I look forward to the continued growth here at the site.

Let me give you a bit of back ground on how “Yes, We Cook!” came into existence.

For the last 8 months, my blogging efforts have taken place on my own personal site, vansantos.com, but the topics ranged from personal thoughts on life to business to entertainment. Essentially, there was no specific focus.

As my enjoyment for cooking was rekindled, I began to post more and more food related items to the blog. After Wandering Coyote @ ReTorte listed me as a site that has “yummy stuff from time to time” I decided now is the time to create an environment focused on food/cooking.

I approached a good friend of mine, JT, who also enjoys the exploration of culinary delights, about blogging our food related thoughts and he was interested.

Bam. “Yes, We Cook” was born.

Please understand we are in the infant phase today. In no way are we professionals, and in most cases we are both lucky enough to string together coherent and structured sentences, but my hope is this site grows into a platform supportive of communication and the sharing of ideas and information surrounding the culinary arts. If the enthusiasm other bloggers have for cooking is any indication, I believe that goal is possible.
