Your dad and I encouraged the concept of a daily meal together and the supportive, and at times robust, discussions that have taken place at it. We have been blessed that it is something you have each said that you are grateful for.

Time passes and life moves on.

You are all adults now.

This website is about digitally preserving the recipes of your childhood and our family life, while embracing the change that occurs as our family extends. We are entering a season of new traditions, celebrations and situations that call for different recipes to be tried, developed and recorded.

Thank you Cole for becoming an integral part of the family and for being such enthusiastic member of the tasting table. And to Ally-welcome! We are delighted you are part of our growing story and family, and we look forward to many shared meals ahead.

Olive Sage & Chilli will enable us to embrace both the nostalgic recipes of the past and our discovery of new ones as well.

These recipes come under this title to remind you always of the figurative inclusivity of the olive branch, the importance of a sage approach and that life is always better with a bit of spice!

Whenever and from wherever you are reaching for a recipe from this collection, know that you are loved.
