I promised I’d be back with more about my Berlin adventure, and here I am! Last month I travelled through Berlin for a few days and had the chance to meet up with Marta Greber from What Should I Eat For Breakfast Today for...

I’m still catching up after my few weeks in Croatia for my workshop and then in Berlin for sightseeing. I’ve been hard at work on my cookbook since I got back, but am taking a breather to share this delicious visit with Laura and Nora of Our...

Two years ago I started writing my very first cookbook, and today I am able to share it with all of you in bookstores far and wide. Writing Adventures in Chicken was an interesting process – of course it takes a lot of time and effort...

Last month I hosted my fifth Secret Supper here in the Pacific Northwest; this supper’s theme was ‘Ebb + Flow and we held it right on the waterline at the beautiful Oregon coast in Rockaway Beach. Co-hosting alongside me were Danielle, Christiann, and Mona and...

I made this recipe for Chevre Stuffed Sweet Peppers with Lime Creme Fraîche Dip a couple weeks ago with some of my favorite varieties of sweet peppers from my summer harvest, it’s so interesting to see how the colors of the pepper change once you...

After several months of hard work, the remodel of our second floor is nearly finished! So much so that I was actually able to enjoy a little hard-earned breakfast in bed of sweet plum waffles without any painters tape or ram board in sight,...

I promised more tomato recipes in my last post, and I’m here to deliver with one of my new favorites; Tomato Chevre Tarte Tatin. Tomatoes are a funny fruit. They’re kinda sweet, but not enough to be as pleasant for raw eating as an apple...

Even though the heatwave that’s rocked Portland over the past few weeks has browned out everything in my garden not hooked up to an automatic drip watering system, I can’t be that upset since it’s finally kicked my tomato production into high gear. I...

Back in May Carey and I hosted another First We Eat food styling and photography workshop, this time in Taos, New Mexico. I’d been in New Mexico once before on a road trip down to Carlsbad during college, but I’d never been to the...

About a month ago I headed to a little town on the Oregon coast somewhere between Nehalem and Rockaway beach for a daytrip with Tiffany from Oh Honey Bakes and Christian. We went with the intention of staying overnight and doing some camping, but...
