Bread & Rolls
Caught somewhere between a pastry & a bread, this lovely brioche is intertwined with gooey ribbons of orange butterscotch & crisp walnuts. It’s worthy of beginning a Sunday Brunch Tradition.
The art of crafting sourdough is not unlike having a child, it is a living thing that relies on you. The way that you raise it, nurture it, shape it affects the way it will grow up. A true sourdough does not rely on commercial yeast. It is formed from the wild yeast that is present all around us. It’s present in our homes, on surfaces, on fruits & vegetables. The wild yeast collect is a product of it’s environment. The warmth as well as the history of your kitchen contributes to the unique characteristics of the wild yeast, as well as the bacteria that gives it the signature sour taste. Therefor, no two are exactly alike & thus no one can bring to the table what you can.

Comfort Foods
One of my favorite thing’s about fall is the abundance of beautiful squash. Hollow’s to be filled with just about anything- Sausage & rice, a hearty harvest stew, cream & tangy cheese, limited only by your imagination. Below are three of our best squash recipes to try this fall.
One of the best ways to celebrate our diverse world is by embracing the foods that bring us together. Every country imparting it’s own unique flavor to the culinary table.

Interwoven with stories & experiences & at the center of our conversations is always food, as it simple brings us together.

This is my personal journey with Keto. I have ended my relationship with ketosis amicably, we both agree to disagree, after a 3 month stretch. I started out, an absolute skeptic, a heckler if you will. The Keto diet was contrary to everything I had ever learned about nutrition. Granted, I am not a nutritionist, I am a chef (I am however just a few credits shy of my Nutritionist Certification).

The can tells the story, I’m simply the narrator. If your childhood was like mine, than this image brings feelings of both pleasure & discord. Behold the joy of finding a can of spaghetti O’s hiding in the kitchen cabinet! A shinning beacon of pasta hope for the latch key kid. We were the generation of kids that had to figure stuff out on our own & sometimes I think we’re better for it. I am the person I am today because, when necessary, I could open up a can… (Pun fully intended).
