A weekly selection of my personal archives, written, photos, videos, menus, and other visual materials, on eating, cooking, and travel from the simplest to the grandest, everyone from local fishermen to the world’s most famous names. Hope you like it!

A newsletter about the history behind today's politics.

A newsletter about cooking, eating and making life more delicious.

(Usually) good news for and about the restaurant industry.

Every week I will be sharing my MLA formatted reports on life, food, travel and art to the class. I hope I get good marks.

I'm a home cook. No more than that. Maybe you are, too. Never been a chef. Not a food professional. This surely is no masterclass. But do come explore moments of merriment in the kitchen and at the table with me . . . .

Data, politics, and rebuilding

My ultimate list of restaurants, bars, markets, and more from my travels around the world!
