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.

Food Sustainability in the News
Check out this must read NY Times Magazine "open letter" from one of my favorite food thinkers/writers, Michael Pollan, to our next President.
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.
Silver Spring; Saturdays, 9AM-1PM (Ellsworth Drive, between Fenton and Cedar Streets)
Here's a map
to even more farmers markets in the area. For more information, check out the FRESHFARM Markets Web site.
