I started thinking about this project as a place to share recipes. I have a current folder of recipes gathered from many places over the years… I also know of good resources online that I access regularly – but I don’t record the modifications I make, and I often forget about some of my favourites. I want to create this archive as a reference, in a format I can share.

I aspire to cooking often and sharing food. I want to use local ingredients, and hone my skills in canning, drying, etc. I see all of these activities as ways of nesting and committing to my sense of place – deepening roots in community and in the garden. I also aspire to learn more about herbal medicine and the healing ways of local plants.

A commitment to the process… I’ve decided to share recipes here only as I make them. So food, potions, photos, and drawings will be posted to the archive as they happen. Each post will also include a soundtrack song/album or podcast that accompanied me while I was making this recipe.

In the coming weeks, you can expect to see more recipes, potential collaborations, an “about” page, and a helpful index with categories and tags.

Thank you for reading! I hope you find something delicious and nourishing here.
