A Note from the Kitchen

"This recipe was born in a cabin
in the Cascades, during a week
when food became medicine."

After an autoimmune diagnosis at 34, I stopped counting calories and started counting colors on the plate. Every recipe here is a document of that recalibration — ancestral wisdom dressed in technique, nourishment that doesn't apologize for being beautiful.
