Hey! So Glad You're Here.

   Welcome to my site! I am Chef Darin Epp (alias, The Popcorn Guru) and I have a passion for all things food (especially popcorn, but that's for later). I have always believed that food is more than a means of sustenance to our survival. Rather, food is deeply rooted in our means of existence and is far more spiritual than we could ever imagine. While some of us "eat to live" others prefer to "live to eat". I'm not sure where I fall...maybe somewhere in between but one fact is certain...food and the realm of food is interesting, exciting, a source of survival and spiritually invigorating on all levels. Simply put, food is life!

    I have been in the culinary industry for over forty years and I don't see an end in sight any time soon (God willing). I enjoy passing on my tales and creative inspirations that I have accumulated through the years. In this site I hope to share some wisdom, provide some learning opportunities and show what culinary techniques and experiences that I have acquired in this arduous profession. 

   The source of inspiration for a website came about as I completed my latest book, "Wild Popcorn".  So many people inquired if I had a website that I felt obligated to make one...so here you go! Read, provide feedback and enjoy what is here. This is for you!
