The Small Town Chef

Every cooking show, cookbook, and cooking column these days, it seems, is based around the idea that you, too, can create works of art in the kitchen… as long as you have access to their New York bodegas and international markets. This blog challenges the second half of that notion; you don’t have to fall back on aspic and Karo pour-ons just because you’re not a jet-setter and don’t live in a major city. My name is Ellie, and I believe that food can and should be amazing even if you live in the tiniest town in the whole country.
