ABOUT THIS COOK:

I am an urban homesteader and member of Baltimore Foodmakers. I found Food52 through Kim O'Donnell on Twitter. I started following Kim through the Twitter network of canning enthusiasts (wow, it really is the 21st century!). I am extremely intimidated by the gorgeous foodmakers and photographers on this site, but these recipes are truly some of the most inspiring I have ever seen!
