Greece is the Word (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Greece is trending my friend who owns a few pizza and natural wine places says to me the night before I leave for Athens. I want to hit him. Because of the Odyssey? I retort. The Odyssey, that would be too obvious, too common, for the culture class. No, it’s just been popping up more on social media. More and more people in food and wine have travelled and posted from Greece, perfect apartments, cerulean seas, all the fish. Greece. Have you heard? Everyone’s talking about her.I went to Greece fo
This Cook’s Mind (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My mind runs when I cook, both at home and for work. I can’t stop to write, but when I do, it’s just not the same as what moves through my head, what feels like an effortless slide of fragment into thought into revelations. Something about the process, a mixture of muscle memory and new ideas, the hands work, the mind moves. I made chicken stock in anticipation of my friend’s visit a few months back, before the heat of summer, to have something easy around. I didn’t manage to get all the keys co
Still You'll Never Get It Right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Both/And” is the title of the last episode of season 4 of the glorious television show Industry, a phrase used by both main characters, Harper and Yasmin.

Will it work? Or

Read excerpt
It’s been far too long since I have written here. Work has consumed me, for almost a month now, a good thing, a lucky thing, a thing. This is coming on a Friday, rather than a Monday morning. Is it better to keep the same day? Yes, I think so, for consistency’s sake. Have I been consistent? Hell no, sometimes I can only muster that for a paycheck. If I can’t get it together for consistency’s sake, who honestly is beginning to sound like an Edith Wharton character1, then I must abide by my own ru
Crystal Light Shinin' Bright (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our grandfather kept a small garden during the summer months across the gravel driveway from the kitchen, by the heifer pens. He grew the season’s classics: corn, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and cucumbers. He put up bread and butter pickles ever year. My grandmother sautéed zucchini past the point of no return, to mush. I find much inspiration by her loathing for cooking. I make certain my squash holds its shape and still has a tooth to it. Once I asked her how they found their way to buying the
