SOMèRE KITCHEN
Welcome to a collection of notes and recipes from the kitchen journal I keep for my daughter, Sophie. For several years, cooking has been my creative outlet – a place where there is no right or wrong. Only experiments. The sight, smell, taste and feel of a creation coming to life. A daily art project. A way to nourish my body.
Before ever learning to cook, I fell in love with nutrition. As a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, I devoted hours to researching the nutritional effects of a meal before ever figuring out how to put it onto a plate. When the science finally collided with flavor, to me, it was magic.
These days, the hours are shorter and the moments are sweeter. The spare time I used to spend indulging in lengthy recipes I now share with a little sous-chef. This always means more laughs, more spills, more dancing, and a daily need to simplify. And the magic, much deeper, is in being in the kitchen together.
I hope you find good, easy food and lots of joy here.
I have been inspired over and over to cook and to create – both from a place of art and of wellbeing. For me, every facet of health starts in this space with people I love.
Santé, cheers, and thank you for sharing our kitchen!
