Inside Kitchen Porch with Jan Buhrman
Welcome to Living Local on Martha’s Vineyard and Beyond. This blog explores all aspects of living locally from inspirations to sources.
Being a culinary professional for 25 years with a catering business, I’ve found a lot of room for further exploration of local sources for food and products.
I am inspired by conversations I have with farmers, gardeners, moms & dads, fishermen, chefs, friends, kids, eaters and lovers. I’ve expanded this exploration beyond my community while traveling for both work and pleasure.
Our custom recipe relates to food and cooking, our community, eco-conscious living, farming, gardening, and sharing our findings with you:
Start with a bottle of sparkling prosecco…
2 cups Slow Food
two cups Wendell Berry
1/4 cup Weston Price
mix with Berkshire lard
a handful of Julia Child
a dash of Will Allen
pinch of R.W. Apple, Jr.
tablespoon or two of Marion Nestle
End with a fine dessert Reisling…
and come back for seconds…
