About Food
Welcome! We all need to eat, right? Eating good food is one of life's greatest pleasures. As busy as we are and as diverse as we are, the need for sustenance is something we all share. Since there is no avoiding our almost perpetual hunger, why not strive to nourish our hearts and minds as well as our stomachs? For me, a chronic food lover, a food writer and avid baker and cook, this means making a conscious effort to eat well, to be fullfilled and nourished by real, well-prepared food, for food to be more than just fuel. I believe in the old-fashioned virtues of homemade meals shared at the family table. I love fresh, seasonal ingredients used simply to delicious effect. I enjoy hearty peasant food served casually and generously.
