Last fall I introduced you to cookbook author, Lesa Heebner (more about Lesa Heebner here). In a nutshell she lives in Southern California and was leading small cooking classes in her home featuring fresh, local, seasonal ingredients long before people were sporting t-shirt with slogans encouraging the same behavior. She’d travel out to different farms…

Simple Seasonal Food: Homemade Applesauce (sugar-free!)
The fun (or humbling) aspect of having a blog is that we all started somewhere. It’s a bit like looking back on art you did in Kindergarten but in many cases it’s not as cute! This simple, seasonal recipe is a fall-favorite and was one of the first recipes shared on Boulder Locavore. The original…
Coq au Vin Fondue
We recently celebrated a birthday of an exquisite home cook who owns every possible cookbook, kitchen gadget (I mean that in the most haute cuisine way) and device for every genre of cooking. A few things popped up as possible gifts having escaped the cook’s radar but none felt worthy of the full…

Before Christmas I introduced you to my friend Janis in New Zealand (click here for her first guest post) when she shared her holiday food traditions with recipes. She so enjoyed guest posting (as did you from the post views and comments) she’s back! This time she’s here to provide a window into the progress…
‘Glasgow Tonic’ or ‘Uncle Wilson’s Hot Toddy’
‘Glasgow Tonic’, or ‘Uncle Wilson’s Hot Toddy’, as this beverage is known in our house was born a few years back when a well-loved family friend was visiting from Glasgow Scotland. I don’t now recall if I had a cold, was getting a cold, wanted something warm (and spiked) to drink or what the circumstances…
