Filling in on Kate’s food blog is a little intimidating, but I suppose there is some value in the culinary opinion of a non-cook who also happens to be a picky eater to give toddlers a run for their money.
Come to think of it, I have actually had a number of food service jobs. Among [...]

It’s fall!
I love fall food. I love the change of seasons and getting to wear sweaters again. Of course, as I type this, it’s 80 degrees here in my corner of New England. Not exactly hot apple cider weather. But that’s okay. It will be soon and I can still feel the change inside [...]

I have to admit it took me a long time. A LOOOOONG time to find my way into the beet. I always thought beets were beat. (har! har!) I never understood the appeal. To me, they tasted like. . . dirt. Like the earth, but not in a good way. I had a co-worker [...]

Along with corn it’s definitely tomato time around here. I’m not much of a gardener, but even I grew some this season. All the people who know what they are doing (like the farmers at my CSA and the Farmer’s Market) tell me that this has been “a great year for tomatoes.” [...]
