The Geeks

Once upon a time there were two sisters and a friend who couldn’t stop talking about food.

Food, food, food, blah, blah, food...you get the point.

Then came the fateful balmy summer evening that changed things. Commiserating over a box of bad wine and better food, Lisa asked her fellow geeks: “How can we take this unhealthy obsession and harness it into something good?”

And thus the idea for The Kitchen Geeks was born. A one-stop resource for home cooks, people could access information on everything from the most basic kitchen techniques to some really obscure culinary tricks.

The Kitchen Geeks site features a plethora of ultimate recipes, how-tos and quicks tips. We encourage our readers to rate our recipes, comment on our posts, suggest new topics and ask us questions. If we don’t know the answers, we’ll find out!

Christine writes about food for LIVESTRONG.com and eHow Food & Drink. She lives with her three children and husband, a 20-year veteran of professional kitchens, who also acts as an unpaid consultant to The Kitchen Geeks. Christine’s favourite foods include anything with mushrooms and chocolate, but not together.

Sandy is an accomplished home cook, and spends much of her spare time devouring food blogs and developing recipes. She is the big cahouna in our test kitchen, and slaps our hands with a wooden spoon if we try to sample her food before it’s ready. Sandy is the official photographer for The Kitchen Geeks and thinks there’s nothing more beautiful than a beautifully prepared dish of fresh food.

Lisa, Sandy’s sister, is our techno-geek and organizational guru. She has run many a home-based business, and loves the challenge of new start-ups almost as much as she loves making a recipe come to life (not literally, of course!). She loves to work out and outside of the gym she spends her spare time researching kitchen gadgets and talking about food.
