"From September 2006-September 2008, I went AWOL from eating restaurant, take-out, or street stand food throughout the five boroughs of New York City. While becoming an office brown-bag (actually, reusable tote) queen and eating pretty much only food prepared by myself, I tried to explore other avenues of “not eating out” — diving into dumpsters, foraging for edible weeds, cooking for communal dinners and supper clubs, and throwing or participating in amateur cook-offs and events. I wrote a book about this experience, called The Art of Eating In: How I Learned to Stop Spending and Love the Stove.
This is still a blog about not eating out in New York. You can read more about why I started it all here, and each month I post a new “Reason of the Month” for not eating out. I sometimes profile prolific people with a passion for home cooking and spotlight local markets and farms. I also write about the aforementioned and other fun stuff elsewhere. You can check out what I’m cooking at the Hapa Kitchen, a supper club focused on East-West eats sourced from local small farms. For cooking and dating advice, tune in Mondays at 1pm EST to Let’s Eat In, my show on Heritage Radio Network."
