My Lil’ Kitchen by Kimdec

Warning: If you go to this website you may try to eat your computer. Food pictures are so tempting that you’ll want to make her recipes just to appease your taste buds. Recently transplanted West Chester writer and cook Kimmie (kimdec was her nickname growing up) dishes up meals for every occasion but loves to make a lot of Mexican, Italian and comfort foods.

She loves West Chester so much she has to share her love of the town and her cooking with this tasty blog. “I’ve always been into food, especially home-cooked food and the more I cook at home I find that my cooking gets better and restaurant food gets more disappointing. I would rather spend time in my kitchen with my family, friends and the food that I made. I know what’s in it and I can appreciate it more.”

All of the ingredients Kimmie uses and writes about is from the West Chester grower’s market and her meats are from local vendors. Although her pictures of food look professionally done she takes them all with a small digital camera and snaps them in natural light from her kitchen window and sets her camera on a macro setting.
