(More)About this blog: I've been attracted to food for good and bad reasons for many years. From eating disorder to east coast culinary school, food has been my passion, profession & nemesis. I've been a sugar addict, a 17-year vegetarian, a food and environment pioneer, macrobiotic, Master Cleanser, ayurvedic, and officially-designated health-nut or party-girl (depending on the year). Professionally, I've worn many industry hats including: line cook, corporate chef, Food Coach, caterer, product developer, restaurant reviewer, culinary school teacher, corporate wellness educator, food co-op clerk, author, and even Cirque-du-Soleil lead popcorn concessioner! For years I managed an outdoor kitchen, deep in the bear-infested woods of Tahoe, and also for hospitals (the most unhealthy kitchen I ever worked in?), Singapore high-rises, mule-pack trips, Canadian catholic rectories, and more events than I could ever recall. Yet I still keep discovering. Actually, I adapt everyday by new lessons learned from teachers, customers and students. However there is one food truth I now hold sacrosanct: Eaters are motivated by pleasure. So no matter what we discuss here - recipes or restaurants, food politics or pairings, local events, food as art, or even as God, I will always come from a high-vibe, party perspective. Oh I do still long to change the world with great tasting food, but know in my heart, "If it ain't fun, it don't get done!" So - wanna come to the Food Party? By the way - it's a potluck.

Summer - Get Out There – How Many More You Got Left Anyways?
Uploaded: Jun 21, 2023
Happy Solstice.
The longest day.
Light cracks into the horizon at 3:30 AM.
One of summers gifts to us is a warm and cozy outdoors.
Don’t you love the long days? I feel most alive outside.
The Food Party! just wanted to take a moment to wish you a happy solstice and remind everyone to get outside for a picnic or lunch or a happy hour drink. Go with a friend, or your own sweet self and groove that summer vibe.
Next week, we’ll have ideas of fun spots to do just that.
Until then, here’s an oldy but a goodie (that probably need updating - call beforehand).
