They left Athens in 2001 for the idyllic island of Kea, in the Cyclades and never looked back. If I ever get to Kea, I may never leave, either, especially knowing I’d be near Aglaia, cookbook…

Five-time James Beard nominee, Lesbian, Mexican, vegan and above all chingona (rough translation — badass), Phoenix chef Silvana Salcido Esparza is not only a master interpreter of Mexican cuisine, she’s a social justice warrior.  “I come from generations of advocates for those who cannot advocate for themselves,” she says. I had the pleasure of meeting…

MY FAVORITE PEOPLE, MY FAVORITE RECIPES: Linda Watson

As Hurricane Florence made landfall in the Carolinas, I contacted Cook for Good’s Linda Watson and urged her to stay safe.  Her My Favorite People, My Favorite Recipes guest post could wait for a better time.  Linda came through anyway, despite rising flood waters, her local environmental advisory board meeting and hosting a screening of…
