These are my notes on cooking. Recipes, thoughts on kitchen life, snippets of information. Things I want to remember for myself and to pass on to my kids. I am writing them here as a way to organize and document my thoughts as well as to share them with others.

Cooking for me is a way of being, of interacting with the world. It changes as I change and evolve. Having run my own bakery and coffee shop for 11 years, my cooking life is now centered around where it began, my home kitchen. I believe firmly in simple, nourishing food that can fit into and enhance your life. My recipes have been featured in Bon Appetit, Vogue and Food and Wine magazine.
