About

I started this blog because I wanted to share the reasons we cook and eat and enjoy: memory, family, community, taste, love. The responsibility to eat both healthily and ethically is also important and makes this most essential human activity one which is our most frequent opportunity to live our values.

I am a writer and cook who likes food history and cooks for a a Newark soup kitchen.  I belong to New York Culinary Historians and am a student at ICE, NYU and the New School depending on where my next interest is best pursued. Raised in South Carolina, I have a strong background in southern cooking which tends to appear in my food.
