We ate well growing up, but it wasn't until I was married that my father started really hitting his stride in the kitchen. About that same time, I was almost religiously watching Rachael Ray and Alton Brown (and just about everyone else on Food Network during those years.) I finally bought good knives and cookware, and discovered how much I really enjoyed being in the kitchen. And loved making delicious food for family and friends.

I love simmering something low and slow on the stove, placing a big pot on the Big Green Egg, putting together charcuterie spreads for grazing, and just being at home with food.

During the pandemic, I decided to try my hand at sourdough, even though I never considered myself a baker. And now, it is one of my favorite things. I love maintaining my starter, the smell of freshly baking bread, and trying new things. Recently, after being asked for years by people to do so, I have started offering my breads for sale. It is one of my greatest joys to be able to share this love with all of you.
