Welcome

Behind every taste, each bite of food, there’s a story.

My mission is to explore the food that’s brought to our Southern tables. . . .to share the passion of the crabbers who scoop up soft shells, “salad bar” ranchers who pasture-raise their beef, bakers who arise at ungodly hours to bake their loaves, and farmers that raise the pumpkins or turkey for my Thanksgiving dinner. What’s the traditional way of cooking them? The newest culinary approach?

Come explore the culinary wonders I’ve found from the mountains to the sea, in THE OUTER BANKS COOKBOOK: Recipes & Traditions from NC’s Barrier Islands, and THE NEW BLUE RIDGE COOKBOOK: Authentic Recipes from North Carolina’s Mountains to Virginia’s Highlands. Both are now in their second edition with even more recipes and culinary tips. THE FOOD LOVERS’ GUIDE to NC’s OUTER BANKS is a compendium of favorite restaurants, markets, breweries, festivals and more! It’s what every foodie needs to know when visiting the Outer Banks of NC.
