About Me:

Meet Mike "Jim" Kowalski

I'm Mike, though most people know me as "Jim" thanks to an old college nickname that stuck. I'm a dad of three hungry teenagers, which means I've spent the last 15 years figuring out how to cook a lot of food, make it taste good, and—most importantly—not spend my entire evening washing dishes. I'm not a chef; I'm a guy who loves a good meatloaf and believes that "low fat" is a swear word.

My Culinary Philosophy

My Background & Expertise

I grew up in the Midwest where casseroles are a food group and portions are generous. My cooking style is heavily influenced by my Polish grandmother, who taught me that food is how you show people you care. I specialize in hearty stews, braised meats, and anything that can be made in a Dutch oven or a slow cooker.
