FOOD
I am writing and dedicating time towards a cookbook titled, OF HOUSE. It is inspired by my belief that now more than ever, we must thoughtfully choose and prepare food that keeps us healthy and inspired, and, to pass that very approach down to our children. The book features my original recipes, my journey with how food has had a huge impact on my life, my passion for teaching my daughter how to cook, and sharing it all with the people I love.
My recipes are simple and require time and ritual. As a carpenter and furniture maker, I offer suggestions on the types of solid wooden tables you should consider to serve your food on. These tables can last for generations and earn the right to be stained, scratched, and delightfully "ruined." Our dining tables showcase the histories of our family's journey with food.
I would love to invite you to join me on this journey with the first edition of the OF HOUSE cookbook. Joining my email list is a great way to stay informed.
JULY - Camping
We love to travel and camp AND cook delicious food while we do it.
Visit your local famers markets while camping.
Bring a cast iron pan.
Keep it simple and delicious.
My recipe below uses zucchini flowers stuffed with an artisan melting cheese then breaded with crushed crackers and fried in olive oil.

Apple Galettes
I used coconut oil instead of butter to make this pastry of apples that may need to be cooked because they have passed their peak of crispness.
