A WILD Saturday Night!

It’s going to be a wild Saturday night…….well the leeks will be at least, hopefully with a couple of glasses of vino we can encourage the small cast of characters to show their wild side too, stay tuned. Meanwhile I am starting the evening with a...

Pie of the Month

Mmmmmmm tofu pie! Ya right, blech say some of you but did you even think it could look this beautiful AND taste as good as it looks? Perhaps not, so for you my naysayers I’d like to share this visual and wish you could taste it too. Made with olives, sundried...

Sweet Spring

It is the smallest, simplest gestures that can fill your soul and make you love your friends even more! These were a kind gift picked from my “happy place” with her sweet family and passed along to me. Doesn’t get any better. Thanks Amy.

It’s All About LWC Not LBD

I am so fortunate to prepare the meals that I do, some of which require crazy ingredients that thankfully I can usually find in my metropolis! Then one weekend I find myself in the country……and a friend shows me her chickens and graciously offers me a...

Just Beachy!!

I must say it’s a wonderful thing when you can take your work with you, isn’t it? Probably for most of you the notion is far from appealing but hey I am happy to cook anywhere! Even at the ocean even when surrounded by a gaggle of small children running...
