Gardenista / A Cook's Garden
I am an occasional contributor to Gardenista, where my writing and photography is most often about eating in season, ideally from my own garden. (An index of all my posts is here.)
“Who knew something so good for you could be this good?”

“Back to the right are our beehives—we got our first honey this year and it had the citrus taste of pine."
“The warm golden sunshine contrasts with air as crisp and clear as water, and the tension between summer and fall is palpable.”
Sometimes I venture further afield, as in this trip to Cape Cod where I found wild grapes growing in the dunes. (Read all my Gardenista features here.)
