David has always been a bit of a liquid guy.  An introduction to a new drink often piques interest, which begets fixation on understanding the intricacies of its creation, variation, and preparation.  First it was green tea.  Then tea of the black, white, herbal, and iced types.  Morning explorations were separate from evening ones of sipping different sauce: rum, whiskey, bourbon, gin, vodka, and so on and so on.  The current studies are in the brewing roasting, and enjoying of craft beer and coffee. Every sip is an education for the palate.

Food kind of fell by the wayside for David; quick and convenient taking precedence over complex and decadent.  Enter Adrienne: food ninja and cook extraordinaire.  Fated, Adrienne conversely had very little experience on the drink side of things (her favourite drink is still water) but lots of experience on the food side. With a dozen years under her belt, she was making a dozen bagels. At twice that, she was completing her Master’s in food science.

And thus, liquid met solid – each working with the other to create a unique dance across the senses.

This website is an ode to bringing these phases of matter together to explore food and drink, and that wonderful in between that is a little bit of both.  Join us, and let’s try something different.
