New to SooN Cooking?

No problem! Some quick background on the concept: I love to cook and realized that I often had to adjust my meal plan to accomodate for for my friends and family with dietary requirements when they joined me for a meal. More often than not, I didn’t know how to modify my recipe to address their dietary needs which launched me into some deep research and left me with a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt that I was preparing the recipe the right way for my guest. A concept that I now call Meal Planning FUD [fear, uncertainty and doubt]. To combat Meal Planning FUD each of my recipes has eight variations which covers everything from vegetarian to Kosher to gluten-free so that you can cut the Meal Planning FUD out of your life and feel comfortable serving the recipe to a variety of guests. Check out the SooN Cooking About page for the complete details.

Behind the Scenes

the SooN COOKING origin story

Dear SooN COOKS of the internet,

About three days into my bartending career at San Carlos Restaurant, I learned a very important lesson: the only difference between a strawberry margarita, strawberry daiquiri is the base liquor. The proportions and steps are the same.

This blew my 21-year-old mind.

The best part? Since I was working in a Mexican restaurant, I made A LOT of margaritas, daiquiris and lemon drops. Repetition led me to this SooN discovery which I have now shared with you. Each one is tasty and refreshing so after you have mastered the trade I imagine the hardest part would be picking your favorite.

I’m excited to learn which one you like the most!!!

Enjoy,
