MOM COOKS FAST & SLOW

Food is about bringing family and friends around a table to talk about their day.  It doesn’t have to be fancy or take a ton of time, it just has to be delicious! 


If you are in New Canaan, I am now offering MCFS favs for purchase & delivery.  Weekly offerings will be on Instagram.

​

If you're not, join me on my substack and podcast as we take a deeper look into the every day lives of people around mom's kitchen table and follow on Instagram for recipes.
