Hi! I’m Kalli and welcome to Oakhurst Kitchen. My husband Josh and I hope this can be place where we can share the fabulous foods and drinks we’ve come to love. We’re calling it a gastroblog.
Heading out for a night on the town to celebrate our third wedding anniversary!
Is gastroblog even a real term, you ask? Well, we hope to make it one.
So much of our inspiration has come from the creative dishes and cocktails at local gastropubs around Atlanta and around the world. So here’s a place where we can share this style of food and drink with everyone…even if you aren’t lucky enough to be able to check out these inspiring restaurants in person. Also, Josh and I met on a blind date at one of THE best gastropubs in Atlanta. So maybe now you can start to understand our fascination.
Our own cooking adventures started in a tiny kitchen inside our first apartment. Seriously, I don’t know how we managed to host dinner parties out of this mini kitchen, but somehow we pulled it off and had loads of fun doing it. We also entered a fateful cooking contest and produced the winning recipe from that little kitchen. Tons of great memories there.
That’s the right side of our kitchen in our first apartment. You can’t see the left side, but trust us it’s very very close to the right side. Also, that’s our cat Elliott.
We’ve been fortunate to move into a much more normal size kitchen and it’s blown our minds and made us that much more committed to building our culinary skills. Plus, my day job is working at a hospital and it can sometimes be a wicked bummer. Cooking (and cocktail making) can be much needed escape and way to unwind after a long day. You know how it is…
Check out our blog and know that we’ve selected these recipes to share because we think you’ll love them too. Let us know what you think, new ideas you want us to explore, or questions we can help you answer about making delicious food in your own kitchen. Now let’s get cooking together!
