About This Site

I came to cooking late in life.  Big city take-out was too easy and convenient.  A move to rural/coastal/southern farm country changed my life.  No take out—no dinner!  So, I found the roadside stands, the little groceries with a real butcher in the back, the fishing boat docks—bought some of those spiral bound church cookbooks, and the rest is history.  Enjoy the ride, the stories and the recipes.  MM, The Kitchen Hive
