| Introduction | I started cooking at 13 when I participated in a school program that put a dozen middle and high school students in the cafeteria kitchen everyday for a year. It was here that I had my first training on how to manage the chaos of a kitchen serving over a hundred people and staying sane. I grew up knowing good food and have to credit both my parents for teaching me how to eat well. While there was certainly a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese or a trip to McD's in their repertoire, brown rice and veggies were staples and (aside from tomatoes) there was very little that I wouldn't eat as a child. Two years ago I moved home after many years away and found a new joy that speaks to my love of cooking - gardening. I'm an amateur gardener (at best) and I get a lot of help from my mother (the pro) but here is a place for me to share my discoveries and some recipes that honor both of these parts of myself. I've also met many beautiful souls in my travels who ask me to share my recipes with them and this is the best way I can imagine doing that. Happy gardening and Bon Appetite! |
