This is a cookbook, as well as a bunch of stories and babbling. The recipes

are all made in our kitchen for ourselves, family and friends. We are happy to

be sharing again with you the new and old recipes that bring us joy and occasionally

recall our past. They are apart of who we are and what we do together,

for each other. With these recipes, we thank each other, surprise each other,

occasionally torture each other and maybe even make our neighbors jealous.

We cook so we don’t have fast food because it’s only fast, not food. Cooking

is how we most often relieve stress. Had a bad week? Make the ravioli. It

works. We are at our best in the kitchen and when we find ourselves getting all

out of sorts and wonky, we’ll make a complex meal.

So we present to you again, our everyday recipes and the stories that occasionally

go with them.
