Introduction I am a pastor in the United Methodist Chuch. I love my job and I love to cook, thus I now have blogs dedicated to those two wonderful parts of my life. Cooking it is an incredible creative and life giving process; however it saddens me deeply that food has become something so detrimental today. From the exploitation of labor to poor eating habits it seems that rather than sustaining life food is destroying it. Thus I am blogging. The United Methodist Church, of which I am a member celebrates what we call an Open Table. All are welcome to celebrate communion, or the Lord's Supper in the United Methodist Church in recognition that grace is extended to all. However, I believe that our tables should also reflect the life-giving promise of Christ. Thus I am writing An Open Table, in which I hope to promote more seasonal, vegetable-inclusive and healthy eating. And in which I hope to share the sort of recipes that we could all make and enjoy.
