News!

Hello all!

Sorry to have been away so long. I've been working on MANY things, and I have a few exciting bits to announce.

First of all, for anyone in the NY area, I will be catering an event for an amazing theatre space in Bushwick, Brooklyn, called the Bushwick Starr. They are having a fundraiser to kick off a wonderful new project at the space called Big Green Theater, as well as celebrating the opening of their hydroponic rooftop garden!

I'm working on a light buffet menu inspired by traditional garden party fare, and trying to source locally as much as I can. Right now the menu (subject to change) includes:

Cucumber Mint Soup with Chive Blossoms
Watermelon Salad with Cilantro and Pork Cracklings
Avocado Caprese
Local Farm Deviled Eggs with Fresh Herbs
Lemon Tarragon Baguette

For more information or to buy tickets for the Big Green Theater fundraiser, please CLICK HERE.

The second bit of news is that I have enrolled in a program to become a certified holistic health counselor. I'm very much looking forward to this new chapter in my life, and hope to share what I'm learning with you here, in addition to the recipe posts.

I hope you are all having a wonderful spring. Now is a great time to check out your local farmers markets for spring veggies!

Best,
Mary
