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 and embracing the change that is occurring as our family extends and we have 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!

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

The 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.
