      Your Best Gravy

      Vegetarian Mushroom Thyme Gravy

I've always been torn whether I want to be a pastry chef or a knitwear designer, hence the screenname sticksnscones. I try to spend as much time as I can in the pursuit of perfection in both. I work at & teach at a fabulous knitting shop along with taking on freelance baking jobs. I draw my cooking inspiration from cookbook authors: Dorie Greenspan, Alice Medrich & Melissa Clark. Most recently I was part of the editing/recipe testing/photo shoot team for a cookbook entitled My Japanese Table by Debra Samuels.

  1. What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
    Pigeon while visting Hong Kong.
  2. What do you cook when home alone?
    Mashed Avocado with fleur de sel, Greek Yogurt with homemade jam and granola, really good toast & jam..
  3. Your most treasured kitchen possession:
    My "good luck" antique cooling rack that belonged to my husbands grandmother(a fabulous baker). It seem like everything that has the good fortune of cooling on this rack is delicious!
  4. The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
