Reinventing Home
My name is Brent Borchardt and food has been a through line connecting my past growing up on an Iowa farm that was early in the organic movement to my present.
This blog is about recipes – yes – but also about personal connection and narrative.
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.

Schmecken!
