Welcome to BB!
My name is Will, the passionate and creative cocktail mixologist and foodie behind the Backyard Bachelor. Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you are enjoying the fun and cool recipes for both cocktails and healthy meals!
I am a San Francisco native, oldest of 6 kids in a large Greek family. Food, family, and hospitality played a major role in my life, and I want to continue to share that value with others as well. Hospitality and entertaining played a role as seen through my Yiayia and my mother. At the center, homemade and healthy cooking were at the center of the table. Those values still stayed with me and the inspiration for this very blog.
Why Backyard Bachelor?
Being a single guy in his 20s has showed me that not many people don’t really know or enjoy cooking that much. In addition, there is nothing better than grilling outside while enjoying a gin cocktail.
So, what to expect from the blog? My goal is to help everyone acquire and be able to have a couple of healthy meals in their wheelhouse for all occasions: day to day, date night dining, and parties. Hopefully, you build confidence in the kitchen and enjoy making it. In addition, to providing written step by step details, I have started creating videos showing how to make these items in action. So please check out some ORIGINAL and CLASSIC takes on recipes for both cocktails and day to day meals.
You might find something you like. Stay tuned with new content and enjoy cooking and cocktail making!
