Classic Coq Au Vin {Recipe Included}

Well, hello there friends! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here. Okay, that’s an understatement – it’s been over a year! Most of you know that I was diagnosed with cancer in February, right about the time most of us first learned about the coronavirus. I’ve written at length about my illness over on […]

On the eve of October ~ One Pot Moroccan Chicken and Rice with Dates and Green Olives {Recipe}

Lemon and Oregano Tuna Mousse {Recipe}

This Oregano Tuna Mousse has been a regular in my hors d’ oeuvre rotation for years. Actually, I can remember the very first time I made it was sometime in about 1996, to serve before a cassoulet dinner a dear friend had painstakingly slaved over for days. I can’t count the many times I’ve made […]

Love Thy Neighbor and Pakistani Slow-Cooked Lamb Stew {Recipe}

I’ll confess I’ve had trouble pulling myself away from the internet this past week. Every twist and turn of this crazy new political world compels me to keep going down the rabbit hole, keep clicking on the next headline.

Hello!

Hi, I'm Maria. My husband and I own a winery in downtown McMinnville, the heart of Oregon's spectacular Willamette Valley.

Lucky for me I get to cook for the people I love, throw parties and pour a little Pinot. Nothing makes me happier than gathering people around my table and serving them food that nourishes both body and soul.

People often tell me that I'm living their dream life. And truthfully, I'm living mine too.

But let's be real, it's still life.
