My name is Jay Luker. I’m a software engineer living in Massachusetts (by way of Arkansas and Arizona). I started this blog mostly as an effort to keep a record of what I was cooking and eating. I am much less a “foodie” than many people I know, but I thought the domain f00die.com was too good to pass up, and it fits nicely with my geek-ness.
My bulk of my culinary background is in slinging pizza and cooking Southern-style, plate lunch kind of stuff, but I did have a brief four-month stint working in the kitchen of a real restaurant, where I learned a few things, like how to dice an onion, how to prep a pork tenderloin, how to make a reduction sauce, etc.
Right now I’m cooking just for myself and my wife, plus the occasional dinner party.
