ABOUT THIS COOK:

I am a NYC based food blogger who has a passion for agriculture. Consider myself a grass-fed advocate and love everything about our emerging farm to table tradition here in America. I grew up without a lot of money but we always had fantastic food. My mom was a great gardener and my father a farmer who butchered food for us. I strive to embody this in my cooking: simple, fresh and frugal.
