I've got a little thing for scones. Ever since the first time I experienced them on a British Airways flight, complete with clotted cream and strawberry preserves, I've had a particular fondness for them. They're also one of those baked items that look like they were more work than they actually were, which seems to … Continue reading Apple-Oat Scones

(Un)Chain My Heart
I'm all about independence. Looking in my pantry and seeing shelves filled with good food that I selected, purchased and carried home in my reusable bags gives me pleasure.

I don't really understand why they have to be filled with artificial ingredients and the … Continue reading Strawberry Field Forever

I'm not a vegetarian, but every once in a while I have a dish that tells me I could be without missing meat at all. Like this fabulous mushroom dish prepared by Jason Baker, the chef at the Wine Bar and Bistro on Lark - where I am lucky enough to work a couple of … Continue reading Savory Bread Pudding
