Welcome to my author home page! My name is Tom and I am a cookbook author and creator of the blog Invent Your Recipe. I offer base recipes and alternative ingredient suggestions. All brought to you by a Cook that does not like recipes! That’s right. I cook without recipes, then write down what I did! It is not for everyone, but that is my style, and I hope you like it.

My Experience & Focus
Recipe Development
With over 30 years of experience in the kitchen I love to invent new recipes! I look in the panty, grab my ingredients, and start cooking. Sometimes I even measure!
Gardening
I cook what I grow. I love gardening and maintain a modest patch in my backyard. Fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and a little fruit. My recipes feature fresh ingredients from my garden to the table.
