Introduction

The word savory isn’t one we use very often, but to me it suggests the place where flavor and fragrance meet, in foods with deep, full tastes that are exciting to the palate. The savory way takes into account the nature of the food itself, its promise as well as its limitations. It considers how best to bring to the table dishes that are alive and sparkling with colors, shapes and fragrance. This food has character and even elegance; but at heart it’s simple home cooking, nourishing food set forth in a climate of happy anticipation.
