the cook & the garden

Recipes & Stories

These are the recipes from my books, my life, my collaborations with others and discoveries from years of being a cook, gardener, baker, farmer and community member. This is where I also share my passion for NO food waste, my adventures and tidbits from my life.
If you haven't subscribed to my updates yet (at the bottom of the page), I hope you will. It only requires an email and I never SPAM nonsense.
