This is a group for true food enthusiasts. This is for people who have so much to give, that all other food groups seem inadequate. This is for those who want both an outlet and an audience. I want us to create extraordinary dishes together. Extraordinary does not necessarily mean complex. For me, it means bringing simple dishes back to their full glory. When was the last time you had Bucatini all'Amatriciana that echoed of the fabled dish of Rome and Amatrice? When was the last time you had S …

Good books and good food go hand in hand, I think!

Also, if you don't quite get around to finishing the book (or reading it for that matter...no worries!).  Just feel free to come to the meetings and socialize too.  Quarterly, we …
