Hey! If you’re here because you saw me and my pumpkin spice syrup on Fox 2 this morning, welcome! Twas early and cold, but I love the growing chill as the days shorten. Fall’s also my favorite cooking season, relishing the last of the harvest before December’s decadence plows us down.

In a few weeks I’ll be doing the biggest autumn cooking event yet. Join me for Tempt Fate: A Underground Dining and Music Event on Friday, November 13th. This is going to be such a special night, full of surprises as we gather family-style over seven locally-sourced courses at a top-secret location that’s going to stun and delight. While you dine four bands will play in this under-appreciated acoustic gem of a venue. Tickets are $75 and they’re going fast. Get more info and reserve your spot via Brown Paper Tickets.
Even though this dinner is going to have me hopping, I still have lots of upcoming classes to help you transition from the last harvest to gift-giving season.
