Growing vegetables in my tiny backyard in Cambridge, MA. Cooking, eating and sharing with friends, family and neighbors.
I received my professional training as a chef at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, and expanded my education with cooking classes in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, China and Vietnam. After working in restaurants in San Francisco, DC and Boston, I started my own business leading Interactive Cooking parties and corporate team-building events through cooking. I play in my garden whenever possible – growing as much produce as my little back yard will yield. And when I need a real “farm-fix,” I visit Even’ Star Organic Farm in Southern Maryland. They usually put me to work harvesting okra, gathering eggs or cooking the staff meal. And every once in a while, I help with a turkey, chicken or pig “matanza”.

I've heard of those tomato plants - looks like a viable option.

Very cool! I'm also impressed with the veggies my neighbors manage to grow along their chainlink fences.
It was quite nice to meet you at the Slow Food event on Saturday. Your salads were most yummy!!

Reeni -- I agree! I was never that ingenious when I lived in an apartment.
Heather and Psychgrad -- I'm curious to see how they grow when the tomatoes get bigger.
Lori Lynn -- I'm impressed with the homespun version.
Karen -- really lovely meeting you as well.

Hahah that's really inspiring, though I'm sure my condo board would kill me if I were to do that on the exterior of my 7th floor apartment.
