Who and Why



     It's a bit like magic to get the perfect flavor and we are convinced that it has to do with how brave we are with our palates and within our pantries, fridges or kitchens and how willing we are to be swept away by all that food has to offer us. The hope is that our thoughts and musings on this site will encourage its readers to consider these tried and loved recipes, add their own flair, and walk forth boldly.

  2. Thank you for stopping by the shop today! I am still so star struck that I met a real live foodie - they do exist! I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, I knew there must be some up here that I haven't come across yet since the North Country is the perfect habitat for a real-foodie!

  4. Hi Paula! Yes, it is. And more importantly, that's the 5 euro yellow wool jacket I found in a thrift shop in Paris.

  5. Thanks to Matias Locanda for posting the link to your blog. How lucky you were to spend a week there in that marvelous company and eating their food (and helping prepare it apparently). We had only about two days in Sarria, but ate almost every meal at Matias Locanda. This is refreshing writing, and they look like delicious recipes -- I'll try some when I get a chance. Buen Camino! and thanks -- Also, Amy's photography offers much to learn from -- excellent.

  9. Hi Adria! I was wondering if you have any ideas for me...For staff appreciation week I am responsible for six platters of food for the faculty and staff who work at a k-12 school in the North Country. A platter will be placed in each department...high school teachers room, elementary teachers room, bus garage, maintenance break room...I would love to hear your thoughts....:)

  10. Marlene! I just saw this. Your event may have come and gone but if not: go for basic. Finger foods are always more complex than one thinks regarding the time it takes. Spanish stuffed mushrooms, some crackers and homemade dips (Ottolenghi has an unbelievable recipe for smoke baba ganoush), a few pans of cornbread or a zucchini bread...email me for more if you're stuck!
