Audio Recording of In a French Kitchen
I just spent three days in London, East Croydon to be exact, recording In a French Kitchen. There, I was in the good hands of Neil Gardner at Ladbroke Audio ( we were recording for Blackstone Audio). It was, in the true sense of the word, awesome. The awesomeness came from the amount of concentration […]

The project in rural tourism and agricultural development that I’m working on is compelling, and I love the people and the food, absolutely. There is something so warm, so authentic, so deeply friendly and delicious about it all. And there is something else. People here […]
Pura – Bosnian Polenta
Yesterday I learned how to make a dish called pura, the Bosnian version of polenta, with its own delicious twist. Zora Pentic was my “teacher.” Zora belongs to a rural women’s group dedicated to keeping the old food ways, and part of my job while here was to offer a cooking demonstration to this group. […]
