Welcome to Cooking with Martinis! 

While its not absolutely essential to have a martini in hand, or nearby, in order to enjoy cooking these recipes, I do tend to make one at some point during the cooking so I have finished my cocktail when the dinner is ready.

Some of these recipes are from others, and the link to the source is included, although I likely have made changes as I have cooked it over the years. Others are from dreams, inventive moments in the kitchen, nightmares, friends telling me what they like to eat and me coming up with a dish incorporating those things or just what I could get at the market that day and after cooking the food decided it was good enough to share.

I basically cook most nights, but do love going out to restaurants as well… so there will not be a new recipe here every day, maybe not even every week. Right now this is a work in progress but I hope you enjoy eating some of the dishes and if so please leave comments. If you found a way to make something even more delicious we’d all love to know that as well!

Bon appétit,
Lionel.
