Austenite Omnivores of the World, Unite!
Technorati Tags: tasteability, blogging
Welcome to Taste and Tasteability, the blog of two avid eaters. Quyen first started to cook in the cramped dorm kitchens, and she attracted some odd looks for washing big knives in the bathroom and mixing cookie dough in the hallways. She is currently a grad student in Durham, North Carolina, where she enjoys hosting weekly dinner parties and cooking for her fiancee, who would otherwise be subsisting on a diet of tacos and fast food.

Angelica lives on the other side of the world in Taipei, Taiwan. She likes to think that being as omnivorous as possible is part of her life's mission. Taipei is a wonderland of street foods as well as an odd melange of authentic and inauthentic foods from around the world. When she manages not to eat at the night markets, she enjoys concocting new dishes (and cocktails!) from local ingredients. She has successfully converted her husband to cooking and he is in many ways more fanatical than she -- he managed to recreate a chili in Taiwan that won rave reviews.
Yes, dear readers. We know that "tasteability" is not a word. What we are trying to convey here is the two sides to enjoying food that we think are important. On the one hand, there is the world of fine dining, of truffle mousses and peking duck and a confit of something drizzled with a thinggummy coulis. But along with such tasteful offerings we must balance what is just plain tasty: A good tuna noodle casserole, warm cookies and cinnamon grahams. We hope to be posting about all our culinary and gustatory adventures on this blog. As Julia Child would say, Bon Apetit.
