Martha’s Kitchen
You want to eat better.
Or, you want to cook for yourself, but you don’t know how.
Or, you’re tired of eating alone, but you don’t want to go to a restaurant.
Or, you want to eat incredible local ingredients but you don’t know where to go nor do you have time to go out and get them.
Or, you cook all the time and need some new inspiration on the sheer magnificence of vegetables, grains, sauces, & slicing.
If any of these ring true for you my friend, Martha’s Kitchen is for you!
Every Kitchen is ALWAYS based on local, seasonal produce.
You help prepare the meal (with guidance!) so you can make it for yourself at home, but always in good company!
We cook together, we eat together, we talk together.
We remember that it is all of this that nourishes our lives.
Welcome!

Oh, how I love the kitchen….
SOURCING
Your health is as good as the health of the soil it grew in.
Food is a conduit that links the intelligence of the earth to the intelligence of your body. Tired, synthetically fertilized soil won’t provide your body with what it needs nor remind it how to heal and repair. Healthy, respected, vital soil produces vital vegetables that produce healthy bodies.
Everything comes from the local market as much as possible.
I go to the Sunday Catonsville Market for One Straw vegetables and Hillside Orchard fruit. For the once-a-month stock up on locally-grown rice and beans from Purple Mountain and more exotic greens from Virginia farms we go to Tacoma Park and/or Dupont Circle Sunday markets.
Support the local farmers, the local soil stewards.

I’m crushing on Anna Jones.
She’s a young mom with a clean, contemporary take on new classics that come together quickly. Her cookbooks inspire me to both new recipes and ease in the kitchen.
For a full list of my favorite plant-based cookbooks here’s my bookshelf from bookshop.org.
