Chilefire is my kitchen diary, online cookbook and reference guide. I started Chilefire back in October of 2005 to help me share my recipes with friends and family. Today Chilefire has a database of 241
recipes exploring foods from all around the world.
I am a great lover of experimentation, and many of the recipes you find here will reflect far flung tastes and specialized ingredients. But I have also reserved a place for the more traditional dishes that have been handed down from family. If you look you will find some of our family classics; from both my mothers family in Virginia, and my fathers family that has a culinary soul forged in the years his family spent living in Puerto Rico.
Chilefire began in the modest galley of our live aboard motor yacht the Bobbel K. Today my wife Naomi and daughter Fiona and I (Bryce) live, cook and eat at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Laramie, Wyoming.
I hope that you enjoy Chilefire, try out some recipes and come back for seconds. And always, please feel free to contact me with any of your questions, recipes, or thoughts.
Chilefire food Blogging Software:
Chilefire uses a custom blogging software that I have developed specifically for food blogging. When I started blogging several years ago there was no blogging software that I felt was particularly good for blogging about food. I developed the Chilefire blogging platform to try to address some of the things that I felt other platforms were lacking.
Two Blogs in One
The Core benefit that the Chilefire food blogging software provides is that it allows me to post my recipes to a separate feed and database, allowing me to keep a searchable cookbook database that I can cross reference with my blog posts. Really Chilefire works by providing two blogs in one - a main "posting" blog and a recipe blog - and users can subscribe to each feed separately.
Blog posts can also be broken out into categories that are arranged by date, allowing for me to arrange my posts by topic and create a navigation system that helps readers find their way to the posts they are interested in.
I would love to make the Chilefire Blogging tool available to other food bloggers. If you are interested in using the software or helping me develop a release friendly version of the software please contact me.
Thanks for visiting!
