Welcome to Four Amongst Three (affectionately known as “FAT”). My name is Jesse and I live in Vancouver, British Columbia along with Brett, my partner in life – and this site. 

I have had a deep affection and appreciation for food for as long as I can remember, undoubtedly owed to the culinary mentors I had growing up. As a child, I was also known to wake up early on Saturday mornings to watch, not cartoons, but the pioneers of cooking television which notably included my earliest memorable influence: Canadian chef James Barber as The Urban Peasant.

This site serves as a platform to document, culinary adventures and to share food knowledge through stories. Within the stories featured on the blog you will find the inspiration, often memories, behind the recipes. Notably, at the heart of this inspiration lies my interest in the culture and human connection that comes through sharing food.
