Over Easy

For me, Chef Linda, there is nothing like the start of a new day. The clean slate and the ensuing possibilities are invigorating. Of course it’s not entirely fresh we bring forward our lessons from days, years before and re-interpret. So here we are again,...

Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner?

Mom doesn’t come over to dinner often since she lives a few thousand kilometers away like on the other side of the country. So my mind is a buzz to get ready for her arrival.  You know how when you host a dinner party or event in your home it becomes a great motivator...
