I mean from scratch. Get out the box. Read the instructions. Get the bowls and pans. Think about the order. Execute.
So fun to watch. Only minimal supervision these days.

Food is art in Japan, where presentation often outstrips deliciousness. Sometimes you get both. Yanmo やんも 南青山店 is outstanding.

Provender Kitchen is excellent. And it’s in Berryville. This is not a normal combination. We approve.
Our first visit was on opening weekend. Delicious and intimate. Romey and I really enjoyed ourselves. Kurt and Jodi have a great thing going.
Much of the produce is grown by the owners. Other sourcing is from local farms.
It’s fun to see what the chef(s) come up with using the very same garden ingredients that we have in our garden.
We returned the very next week with friends. The menu was transformed and was once again creative and delicious.
Sweet corn and crab.

Grow food. Eat food. Even the cow is from family.
