I may look like a puppet but that is just a way of saying I am not a professionally trained chef of any kind and what I offer you can be made by even a simple character like me. I love food. I love good food. I come from a family of great cooks, so I got this passion for cooking at an early age and have spent most of my life creating easily prepared, but restaurant quality meals for my family out of a very simple, small kitchen.

My Mission

I am not a trained, gourmet chef. I am actually a film director, and I am dedicated to sharing recipes and short cuts (Rob’s Little Secrets) so that you can make fine cuisine, as well as comfort food and everyday meals quickly with ease and with your own level of cooking skills. Armed with a few ideas, a few techniques, a few good tools, a good selection of spices, fresh ingredients and a few secrets (that I will share with you), anyone, that means you, can also make eye-popping, mouth-watering, delicious dishes, fast and easy. This is my passion and after years of trial and error I have accumulated the recipes and the insights to make it simple for you to make these great meals with a flare. I won’t just give you the recipes but walk you through the prep, execution and presentation (and cheats). I hope you will enjoy and impress. Yum!

My Vision

The dishes on this blog span the cuisines of every ethnicity from around the world, including good old American food. Many blogs show pictures that have been styled and curated to the point where they look amazing but seem unattainable for the average person. I have spent a career photographing food but here you will only see simple photos of my dishes just sitting on my small kitchen counter. I want you to feel that you can totally attain and execute this food, because you can.

After visiting so many wonderful food blogs and finding some amazing recipes, I have found that I was always clicking that “Jump to the Recipe” button, rarely, if ever, stopping to read the lovely stories and background behind them. So, I have decided to just cut to the chase and give you my recipes straight up. Just peruse Rob’s Little Recipe Index to find something that you’re jonesing for. Enjoy!!
