Lisa Keys is the bravest woman I know. Lisa has dealt with the tragic death of her beloved son through cooking and writing her blog, “Good Grief Cook.”

Good Grief Cooking

Sphere Magazine, April 1973
April 1973 Sphere magazine is about Southern cooking, and since my daughter just moved to the Deep South, I’ll dedicate this issue and pie recipe to her!

Sphere Magazine, March 1973
March 1973 Sphere magazine takes us from the history of the artichoke to the “new” microwave ovens; springtime cooking; and a honey cake from a Jewish mom.

Sphere Magazine, February 1973
I know.. it’s not February. I am behind on my monthly vintage Sphere magazine reports, but wait until you get the recipe for these steamed pork dumplings!

Where have I been? Oh, just tidying up.
I know.. I haven’t posted lately.. This lovely lady has been helping me, not with cooking, but with tidying up my house and eventually the Culinary Cellar!

Food Meets Art
Fulton Market Kitchen is a unique Chicago dining experience where food meets art in the best way possible; on the walls and on the plates!

Four Seasons Hotel Chicago
A weekend at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago is an amazing experience but ordering the Crepe Souffle with Passion Fruit Caramel is required.

After the Snow, the Show was Amazing!
Not snow nor planes skidding off runways could keep my daughter Kristina and I from attending the annual International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago!
