About
Hi there! I’m Ramona and along with my husband Frank, live in Northern Virginia with our three wonderful dogs: Cole, Tucker and Daisy. Read on!
This is my blog about food: eating, cooking, baking (at times, and please bear with me!), shopping and dining in the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. area.
Although I have no formal training, I became inspired to improve my cooking skills from reading cookbooks and other blogs, participating in discussion boards and watching (good) food television programming. And, the following:
From a growing awareness of local farmers and eco-friendly purveyors, I began to shop at area farmers markets. This in turn has led to a more regional and seasonal basis for the food I make. The anticipation which I feel each time I go to a market excites me. What will I find? Are the field tomatoes ripe yet? I wonder if strawberries and asparagus will be at the stands? You know the feeling!
If you aspire to eat,cook and shop locally, wherever you live, I believe you will be fired up by the cooking, shopping and dining shown here at The Houndstooth Gourmet.
I hope to give you food for thought, and food for your table. I’d love to hear from you so please feel free to email the Houndstooth Gourmet with your thoughts.
Warm Regards,
Ramona
