Reinventing Home

Food has been a through line connecting my past growing up on an Iowa farm that was early in the sustainable agriculture movement to my present.
This blog is about recipes – yes – but also about personal history and connection.
I think most people have a moment in their past that represents a notion of Home they wish they could reconnect to. Cooking is a creative act that is always connecting to a past and redefining our present notions of Home.
