She’s simmering, but she’s close.
A place, a space. A Journal to share stories of brilliant people doing brilliant and important things in food, from farms to kitchens to embroidery ateliers to studios — the farmers, the producers, the chefs and cooks, the writers, the photographers, the ceramicists, the artists, the creatives; to share the food I’m cooking, growing, eating or reading about; to share conversations I’m having, or books I’m reading, or songs I’m hearing from the cities I’m in or farms I’m on; or maybe, to simply share a story. And quite likely to share an occasional snap of my wrinkly hands clutching the season’s first plump fig.
Thank you for being here.
HOW IT WORKS
As a subscriber, every now and then, you’ll receive A Journal piece, straight to your inbox. From me to you.
Or, if it feels like a good thing for you, you can sign up to be a paying subscriber. This means you’ll hear from me weekly, and have access to all the pieces that I’m sharing right here on this site — my writing, my photographs, my thoughts on delicious things to cook or divine ways to move through a city. Much of my work revolves around profiling and promoting people doing wonderful and important work in food so you’ll be supporting them, too. And, most likely, I’ll use the monthly 5 euro subscription cost to pay for a bunch of beautiful chard grown by someone clever that will morph into my breakfast with little more than a quick blanch, a drenching of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. So it’s all a circle, you see. And you’ll be part of a community that, I think, will be a lovely time.
In any case, I am most grateful for your support, and I’m so glad you’re here. 🌹
