When I first started having major medical problems this January my doctors insisted I cut the sodium out of my diet or the following week I'd have to have kidney dialysis. That means for me I have to prepare almost everything I eat, using good ingredients. I hated it at first, but decided that if this was going to be a life long change I better figure it out and find things I really like to eat and how to make them better.

Now here it is four months later and I have to admit something...I didn't know this term until earlier this week when one of my very good MFP friends used it....but it opened my eyes to something.

Hi I'm Kalyn, and I am a food porn enthusiast. I enjoy reading recipes, thinking about flavors, combining things you wouldn't usually think of, experimenting...ooh and I've started taking pictures of my food sometimes. I try things out on my coworkers and they enthusiastically eat whatever I bring...its really sort of fun!

    Or you are a "foodie"...thinking about and watching cooking shows is great inspiration to get creative in the kitchen. I remember in college, being so hungry and reading Henry Miller's description of food in Paris. Ah, Paris...the food capital of the world. I think you are amazing K!!!.

    Ooooh yeah...That's me, too! If I could look at recipes all day long and drool over how lovely they would be paired with this or that...oye...
    My BF got me a Taste Thesaurus. BEST GIFT EVER. It pairs unusual flavors that work miraculously well together, with little addition, modification, help, etc. Jamie Oliver's cook books are complete Food Porn to me. I love his stuff

    I confess.......I am addicted to food porn as well. I could be called a foodie or a food snob.

    I love to cook from scratch, browse recipes, tweak recipes,
    share recipes, buy real food ingredients and eat yummy things.

    Today my husband and I went to a huge Asian market and it was a real high.

    Do I need a support group? Oh, I have MFP!

    Yup, self diagnosed food porn addict, right here!

    I can spend hours looking up pictures, researching different foods, and devising ways of making recipes healthier.

    I love buying foods that I've never tasted before, do it on a whim, and try to incorporate them into a recipe

    The kitchen is my science lab, and my experiments are edible.
