Last month I got to host a fun little spring gathering with some of my favorite people in the blogosphere, including Trish from Eat Your Beets, Holly and Natalie from The Modern Proper, Sasha from Tending The Table, and Shelly from Vegetarian Ventures! We gathered at...

Life’s been pretty crazy around these parts. I got back from my First We Eat workshop in Tennessee about a week and a half ago and since then I’ve been busy catching up on emails, freelance photography work, hosting an awesome private Secret Supper...

Last month I hosted my ninth Secret Supper here in Oregon along with my co-hosts Danielle Firle, and Mona Johnson and Jaret Foster of Tournant. This supper was a celebration of new life—the breath of spring had found its way into the bright seasonal produce...

After reading through all your suggestions on instagram the other week, I got super inspired by @arthurandelliot’s request for a recipe that had both rhubarb and hibiscus. They both have such a wonderfully tart flavor to them and such vibrant hues, so I knew...

Oaxaca was a dream I never wanted to wake up from. It’s a magical place filled with intensely flavorful food, rich saturated colors, cobblestone streets, and people who get as much joy in sharing their culture and home with others as you get from being on...

Last month I wrapped up my online workshop, and I had so much fun getting to know my students and seeing everyone’s progress throughout the month-long course that I’ve decided to host another one this fall in November. It will cover the technical aspects...

As I type this, Jeremy is nailing together the last little bits of our beehive. I’m going to paint it tomorrow, and then on Saturday Sasha and her mom are going to help us introduce our queen and bee buddies to their new home....
