Secret treasures behind the revolving door.

Food Glorious Food
I live with a very talented Chef and in our years together I have learned that cooking to him is as much of a creative process as painting is to me. Chef Dan Spitz has been feeding me glorious food for over a decade. These are some photos of what he has treated me to in 2018. Yes, you can be jealous. Continue reading Food Glorious Food
