The Farmhouse Table

I believe in real food. I cook to please–the ones I love, and myself. Recipes that are just challenging enough to be interesting, but easy enough for everyday. Recipes that taste fantastic, look beautiful as they’re served, and make my kitchen smell like heaven. I especially love to bake bread. There is nothing more real–or more miraculous–than making an incredible loaf of bread out of a few dry ingredients and water. Bread is, truly, the epitome of life in ordinary splendor. Pull up a chair at the farmhouse table for my favorite, secret breads, all sorts of other country recipes, and more!
