These pictures are some of the many we've taken of the recipes I've developed, adapted and tested. Each of them is probably soul food for those of you who find them appealing in that ever so comforting way.

Sometimes we're in such a hurry that we forget to take snaps of the food. But these show enough variety to give you an idea of the recipes I prepare at home and teach you to prepare. Pictures will change along the way, as I come up with new seasonal recipes and the seasons change

All of the Portland Home Cooking recipes use seasonal, organic, ingredients and local and fair trade products as much as possible.

Our produce is organic, transitional or herbicide and pesticide free. Animal products are organic, pasteured, or free range and vegetarian fed. Dairy contains no added hormones.

You can enlarge these pics to get a better view. Enjoy the photo gallery.

Invitation to a Sustainable Supper Club

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.  Over 11,800 acres of agricultural land per year are converted to development in Oregon. (American Farmland Trust) 

Shopping locally for foods that are farmed, ranched, prepared and processed near where we liveputs fresher, more nutritious and sustainable meals on our tables, helps support the economics of our own communities – including job growth  and keeps local small family farms alive.

Consider joining if:

1. you enjoy and have a knack for cooking and/or baking,
2. support your community and local farmers,
3. are affiliated with a non-profit community agency or small local business  
4. would like to prepare more meals using local/seasonal ingredients and
5. want to meet like minded consumers.

You don’t need to be a professional cook to enjoy the experience. This is a socially conscious group of consumers who love to cook and bake, and want to become seasonal home gourmets.  

For More Information:

Please contact Judi at Portland Home Cooking for information about this glorious food. I conduct both public and private classes to demonstrate seasonal shopping and cooking. We provide a personal chef service, and personal kitchen consultations, corporate team building facilitation, hands-on theme parties, and will bake vegan and gluten free treats right in your own home.
