California Sweet (pdf)
By Jane Daniels Lear
Gourmet, November 2009
"The farm kitchen is bright and airy and smells faintly of thyme. Meyer lemon trees, heavy with fruit, brush against the windowpanes. Everywhere I turn, I see a still life."
Please take a look at My Stove: A love story, posted today at the Atlantic Monthly's food channel. That's Sue Conley, co-owner of Cowgirl Creamery and Craig Ponsford, President of the Board of The Bread Bakers Guild of America at my stove, warming up the milk to make cheese. Sue came over to my house to give me and a few friends a cheesemaking lesson, Craig gave us a bread making lesson. When all was done, we ate a lunch of flatbreads and bread fresh from my wood-fired oven, cheese, platters of tomatoes and a glass or two of Jim's Zinfandel. We all agreed it was a lot like being in Provence.
