Hi! I’m Lauren
A certified “good eater” as a kid, I was lucky to have been raised in a family where food was more than an afterthought. My parents were avid gardeners and taught me the magic of vegetables.
I remember going on expeditions in the backyard with my sister for tiny, perfect, alpine strawberries. Barefoot in the garden, eating handfuls of borage (the best edible flower ever, but that’s a whole other discussion.) Losing a tooth while eating a freshly picked wax bean. Eating slices of juicy tomato generously salted on my grandparents’ sun porch. When I think about these kinds of memories, it’s no wonder that a good Farmer’s Market haul brings me so much joy.
Beyond a reverence for veggies, I love cookbooks, watching cooking shows, learning about and trying food I’ve never had before, and spending the day in the kitchen. I love a good baking project, a tasty cocktail, and a perfectly cooked heirloom bean. My favorite food is garlic and my favorite time of the year is when peaches are in season.
I’m excited to carve out this little corner of the internet to explore my love of food. Thanks for stopping by.
