“Every day you have the opportunity to learn and experience some-thing and some-one new. Seize the opportunity. Learn and experience everything you can, and use it to change the world.” Rodney Williams

I recently had the pleasure of cooking for some Cape Henlopen High School students and their family members. The dinner was an award ceremony for the completion of their wellness course. I gave a quick healthy cooking demonstration and then dinner was served. I served food that was healthy and tasty! Everybody really had a great time. Congrats triple ten challenge students. They all were winners!

Good, Clean, and Fair Food at TS Smith and Sons Orchard

Posted on October 11, 2011 by The Comb & Wattle

Last sunday was a great success! We felt like we had a back stage pass to one of the most beautiful places on Delmarva! The sun was shinning and it was a perfect fall day for the orchard. Charlie and Greer were excellent host everybody enjoyed picking the prized Stayman and Black Twig apples.

Katie Freer of Sprouting Chefs is Slow Food Delmarva’s new Youth Director and was doing all sorts of fun activities such as painting pumpkins, apple stamps (my favorite), face painting, and a lot more!I carved the Slow Food Snail from an apple.

Our Mission.

I was inspired by the day and when I arived at Nage for dinner service I composed a dish including the Black Twig apple.

I made an apple/cider stock and poached halibut in sous-vide, and garnished the dish with fennel, pollen, cocoa bread crisp, opal basil, absinthe, and olive oil.

Blueberries At Their Peak! U-PICK at Fifer orchards

Posted on June 19, 2011 by The Comb & Wattle

Yesterday was a gorgeous day for a cooking demonstration under the massive English Walnut tree at Fifer Orchards in Camden Wyoming. I highlighted the sweet and savory beauty of blueberries for Fifer’s Blueberry Peak Festival. Inspiration comes in many forms and I found it everywhere I looked as I walked the farm.
