Welcome to the Gourmet Analyst! I’m here to bring simple but classy and well put together recipes to the Millennial generation. The transition from college graduate to “real adult” is a strange one, especially in this economy where a lot of college graduates are moving back in with mom and dad and not getting a jump start on developing certain life skills like cooking a proper meal.

Our generation has grown up with dreams of living in NYC lofts overlooking the city, hosting fabulous cocktail parties with our glamourous friends, and working somewhere where we actually feel like we make a difference.  Needless to say, that hasn’t happened for most of us (yet), but that’s no reason to settle for noodles and Ragu or *shudder* fast food for dinner!

Our generation is made of up health conscious, environmentally aware, movers and shakers with limitless potential.  We are dying to get out there and make big things happen, but it’s so easy to get lazy when it comes to the every day things that could make a big difference in our lives.  Simply having the ability to cook a meal for friends, bring your own lunch to work (that doesn’t consist of two pieces of white bread and b-o-l-o-g-n-a), host a small cocktail party, bake for friends at work, or impress a date – can do wonders for your quality of life outside of the cubefarm.
