Mrs. Portable Chef @angelaattia has become an accomplished gardener over the pandemic. Everything in my lunch salad – the lettuce, the snap peas, and the strawberries – came from our garden this morning, a ridiculous bounty. (Full disclosure: after this photo was taken I also put a dealing quantity of #parmigiano on top – an ingredient which, for the moment anyway, is beyond her purview). Well done baby!

Years ago, I was crushed to learn that the “baby carrots” I’d been snacking on since I was a child were simply bits of large carrots cut into a small shape. These can’t compare to the superior taste and visual appeal of *actual* baby carrots, pictured here. #babycarrots #realthing #rootvegetables #eatyourveggies #realfood #jerf #mealdelivery #hudsonvalleyfood
Seekh Kebab! Grill time. #paleo #grassfedbeef @8oclockranch #kebab #jerf #realfood
I started Portable Chef in large part because I love to cook. Funny, because I don’t do much of it any more – our cooks are extremely skilled, and I have the mechanics of a business to run. But every once in while, I step out from behind my desk – I did that today, to make a birthday cake for a client – I’m reminded how much fun cooking can be, and what an amazing kitchen we’re fortunate enough to have at Portable Chef headquarters.#smallbusiness #chocolatecake #customdiningdelivered

Article in The NY Times today about cheap chicken. I know from personal experience that chickens are awesome, badass and curious. Their mistreatment is not only bad for them but bad for all of us. #freerangechickens #nytimes #chickens
Car windshield this morning. Nippy commute! And the fridge in the kitchen is basically keeping things from freezing! #nippy #coldkitchen

You gonna resist a smiling cookie? Admittedly it’s a little demonic looking but with Jacques Torres nibs and Maldon salt, it isn’t messing around. When we do dessert, we don’t mess around. #chocolatechipcookies #healthymealbreak #cooookies #allthegluten #allthesugar #yummyfood #jacquestorres

Mee Goreng. People often ask what type of cuisine we serve. Honestly, it’s all over the place, it’s what my customers ask for that week, what ingredients we have etc etc. But it’s always fun to explore. #meegoreng #worldcuisine #vegetarian #noodles #realfood #jerf #healthyfood #functionalnutrition #slowfood #wellandgoodeats
