The credit for this Tomato Tart goes to Jose Andres. I’ve been following Andres, founder of World Central Kitchen, for quite some time now. He is not paying me to write this or share his recipe. But – hey, “Jose…..wanna collaborate?” In 2019 he published his latest cookbook titled “Vegetables Unleashed”. This recipe is from […]
Voted #1 Chef in Guilford County under 30 this year! That’s right, our head chef for this years Community Table is our youngest ever. Suffice it to say Anders Benton, executive chef at GIA DrinkEatListen is under 30 – a youngster by any standard. Benton was also honored with second place in the “Best Chef” […]
Last year I attended Community Table 2018, Triad Local First’s fund-raiser, as a behind the scenes blogger. This year I am co-charing the event. Without a doubt last year was a fantastic time with local chefs, breweries, farms, distilleries and foodies buzzing about like hungry bees. This year will be an over the top event […]
A challenge I notice through my involvement with “food” is the mispronunciations of food words. Working in the spice shop I hear customers doing their best to pronounce food words they aren’t familiar with. Many times they preface their mispronunciation with a comment like,” I’m not sure I’m saying this right”. I’ve been checking to […]

Engaging in ethical, transparent and local beliefs Amie and her family are excited […]

If you’ve not read my two previous posts and learned of all the amazing participants, I’m talking top chefs, distilleries, breweries and more, you can catch those here […]
My man Dan and I celebrated our anniversary last night at home with a scrumptious home cooked meal for a fraction of the cost of a restaurant dinner. We’ve never had more fun nor a more delicious meal. Originally my wonderful husband made reservations at a fancy restaurant where we’ve celebrated in years past. After […]
Here is yet another zucchini recipe – Zucchini Fritters. I have not finished using all the zucchini we brought home from the coast. I think if the zucchinis were normal size I might’ve finished cooking with them but they are so big that one makes enough for two recipes! Seriously y’all some of them are […]
Grilled zucchini salad is now on my favorites list for ways to use the abundance of zucchini we brought back from the coast a couple weekends ago. I grill our dinners most evenings and love it when I can throw everything on the grill and not heat up my kitchen. I admit I really don’t […]
