I'm a thirty-something guy living, eating and cooking for fun in Washington, DC. I'll be abusing ellipses and writing regularly about my appreciation for locally grown/produced food and
the chefs/home cooks who use it . . . and other delicious food too. All photos on the blog were taken by yours truly, unless otherwise noted. Out of respect for the creators and for copyright
reasons, I don't reprint the published recipes of others. The recipes detailed here are mine and those of family and friends who give me permission to blog them.
I can be reached at foodrockzman(at)foodrockz.com.

What's with the *s?
In an effort to hightlight the abundance of local foodstuffs, all ingredients grown/raised/produced in the Chesapeake Bay region are marked with an asterisk(*). I'm sure there's great food grown/raised/produced in your region. Get out there to a farmers market and show your regional producers some love.
Dupont Circle; Sundays, 10AM-1PM (1500 block of 20th Street NW)
Here's a map
to even more farmers markets in the area. For more information, check out the FRESHFARM Markets Web site.
