About Button Soup

Button Soup is my personal website and blog.  I use it to record recipes, notes, and ideas on food.  You can use it as a tool for finding and cooking good food at home.

Things you are likely to find on Button Soup:

• information on sourcing local food, whether farmed or foraged;
• technical notes on craft food traditions like meat-cutting, charcuterie, brewing, and making cider, cheese, and vinegar;
• details on the many cooking classes that I lead for organizations like Metro Continuing Education;  I also post the handouts and recipes from those classes on Button Soup;
• Oxford commas.

Things you are less likely to find on Button Soup:

• restaurant reviews;
• highly-polished food photography;
• emoticons.

Thanks for visiting Button Soup!
