| Introduction | This blog has moved to inhabitedkitchen.com I hope to see you there! I live in a Manhattan apartment, with a man and two cats, and a very small kitchen. I enjoy cooking and food, which I believe should enhance health and happiness. I cook primarily with fresh, local food, believing that it tastes best, as well as being the best choice for nutrition, and for the world. I talk about cooking with many people, both in my work and in my personal life. Too many people, I feel, have been convinced, by many factors in our culture, of a kind of Cooking Mystique. They believe that *either* you cook as a passion (or hobby) *or* you barely cook at all. The first, they think, require obscure or expensive ingredients, all the best tools, and lots of time and expertise - the second, a few convenience foods, and a takeout menu. I'm here to argue for - and possibly introduce you to - the middle ground. The incredible ease of a roast chicken, a few tricks to do when you have a little time that give more options later, and everything that lets me put a good home cooked meal on the table when I've been on my feet all day. |
