Author, journalist, cook.

I've spent much of the past 20 years in professional kitchens, and believe that the world is a better place when we cook our own food and share it with the people we love. I began blogging in 2006, then took a five year hiatus from it in 2015. I've refashioned this site to be more or less my recipe box, my own recipes, adapted recipes and recipes from my books.

Cocktail Ratios is out!

New York Times bestselling author Michael Ruhlman applies the principles of his innovative book Ratio—about the relationships of ingredients to each other—in this delightful back-to-basics cocktail book, sharing the simple recipes and fundamental techniques that make for delicious and satisfying libations.

A practical reference of cocktail classics, a source of inspiration for putting a new spin on the usual gin and tonic, and an affable tribute to the pleasures of the cocktail hour, The Book of Cocktail Ratios shows you how to serve up delectable drinks in no time.

Order today, cheers!
