Try our Home Chef service.
Choose from varied seasonal menu items and have your choices prepared for you, in your home. Whether for your family, your guests, or just you and that special someone; the meal will be ready when you are, served right away, refrigerated or frozen for later.
We love to bake and will prepare original specialty baked goods and dessert recipes - fresh - in your home. Try traditional, gluten free, vegan, low fat, & high fiber desserts, snacks and quick breads.
Try a group class at the Sellwood Community Center? These inexpensive prescheduled classes offer an introduction to various easy seasonal recipes and provide seasonal shopping information and handouts.
How about a cooking party?
When you host one of our themed, hands on, cooking parties in your home, the host and guests prepare the food together. The chef will facilitate the cooking festivities and clean the kitchen while you and your friends enjoy the results.
Have you been to Bob's Red Mill or heard about Bob's? They have loads of specialty baking ingredients available at their huge mill store, in grocery stores all over, or by mail.
Do you know about the Sustainable Table? Just going to this great web site is an education. You can find their links on our news and recipe page.
I'm Judith Yamada, and this is the website for Portland Home Cooking.
Portland Ho
me Cooking is all about eating well and simply, while doing what's best for yourself, your family and your community.
Each week over 300 farmers leave the land (Farm Aid). Small family farms are becoming extinct along with the family farmer's committment to healthy stewardship of the land. If you have a committment to revitalizing your community let your wallets speak for you. Shopping locally for foods that are farmed, ranched prepared and processed near where we live will not only put more sustainable meals on your tables.
Farmers in your area spend most of their money locally for their needed food, supplies, tools, home needs, etc. This, in turn, supports other local businesses and your community - bringing jobs to where you live.
When you shop near home, you're able to visit local farms and businesses, building relationships and trust.
It goes without saying that food in season is readily available; it's the law of supply and demand. If there's a lot of something, it's probably less expensive, especially when it doesn't have to span the globe to reach you.
Next time you go to the market, and pick up that tempting orange from Australia or bunch of asparagus from Argentina, please think about how long ago that long distance produce was picked, and the carbon footprint that's part of its long distance scenario. Just as importantly, remember that sustaining our small local farms (which are quickly disappearing due to huge farming corporations) sustains our communities. Discover all we can do with what we have at hand.
Eat well and buy local,
Judi
