Are you looking for some cooking inspiration? Need some enticing new recipes to recharge your repertoire? Wondering how in the world you can find the time to prepare a meal from scratch, let alone read about it?

Me, too. Even with a degree from the Culinary Institute of America and years spent in the food industry, I still grapple each night with what to make for dinner. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this…how we eat is how we live.

The reality is, I have less and less time to spend in the kitchen (that third kid put me over the edge). Domestic goddess? Don’t think so. But going to the farmers market once a week, spending a weekend afternoon in the kitchen, cooking with the baby on my hip and enlisting the other kids to help…that I can do. And so can you.

Wholesome, exciting, and delicious…it’s what a meal should be. But can you pull it off without the stress? Absolutely. I’m going to put my 20 years of cooking to the test to show you how make farm-to-table fresh, joyful meals part of your life.

Whenever possible, I cook from scratch with organic and local produce, whole grains, domestic cheeses, Kosher and organic meats, and responsibly caught fish. The recipes you’ll find here are the fail-proof crowd-pleasers that have already won over family and friends. If someone’s plate doesn’t end up being licked clean, the recipe ends up in my reject pile.

Stop by here every week to find recipes from my Summertime Anytime cookbook (Clarkson Potter May ’08), and from my upcoming projects, tips for your kitchen and home, equipment and food product recommendations, details on my upcoming cooking classes, contests, videos, events, and more.

With a little help from this urban farmgirl, you’ll be cooking up a crop of scrumptious, memorable meals in no time!
