About

Welcome to my new home! Many of you know me as the Magpie.

In my new incarnation as the Domestic Dilettante, I still believe that family meal time is sacred. A home-cooked meal served on a lovely table in the company of loved ones will cure nearly all ills — nutritional, social, and spiritual.   Delicious food and inspiring tablescapes are the perfect combination for mealtime communions that create lasting memories.

Join me as I muck my way around my kitchen and my life.  And if we spill a little wine or forget the rosemary, at least we get to eat the leftovers.

Because who doesn't need a plate of pasta?
