Returning food to the sacred
A Recipe With A Legendary History The history of Chili or Chili Con Carne in the United States is long and passionate. Whole debates, books, and media wars have occurred over what constitutes a proper bowl of chili, and if you travel through Texas… forget it. People might come to blows over a disputed ‘right’ […]
Stick food. I’m telling you, it’s my latest obsession. This was on of the dishes served at our Housewarming party a week ago. Satay is originally a Java, Indonesian dish made up of any seasoned, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce. In truth I’ve come to associate it with Thai cooking, but a […]
I’ve been in a soup mood, can you tell? Trying to savor each last second of cooler to cold weather here on the North shore, I’m longing for the nurturing textures of a bisque and crusty gluten free bread whenever possible. This one was inspired by the huge leeks I’m getting in our CSA box […]
Last year, in a state of mental desperation over the level of scarcity and deprivation I was feeling over being gluten free and a vegetarian, I found myself in a restaurant in Maui saying, ‘I want a plate of pork.” Just like that. I hadn’t eaten meat in over 10 years and in one fell […]

Its Sunday. And where for most people who live with a traditional weekday/weekend distinction created by work, we don’t live like that. Each day is our own and we either do our work or we don’t. We choose. And its great, because we love what we do, but also the freedom is great and there […]
You’d think we live there no? We don’t, but we do… sort of. In any case, despite the fact that Jon and I were at Cafe Aroma last night to savor an Abalone dish that Sam the chef had made, we found ourselves there again this afternoon to meet with our friend Rachael so Jon […]
