Hello from Rita's Kitchen!

Thanks for stopping to visit. As you can see, my interests are varied, but all have the same goal: to create a nurturing and creative environment for you and those you love.

This is a recent picture of me and Lesley Stockton - Martha Stewart associate
food editor. She came to Macy's to do a fun class on entertaining. And, yes, she was
super nice.

On my site you’ll find healthy, delicious meals for family and friends. My motto is “Love starts in the Kitchen – and in the Garden!”. Actually, that motto carries throughout my home. As a certified herbalist, you’ll find wonderful recipes for using herbs both in the kitchen and as medicine. Check my recipes out for making your own spa products, too. You’ll be amazed how common kitchen ingredients and herbs from the garden can transform into trendy, expensive bath and skin products.


 


Let me know your successes and failures (we all have them) in the kitchen and garden. What’s worked for you? What would you like to see here on my web page? Let me know. I have the best web master in the world: my friend John – he’s the brains behind the food, so to speak. John’s the savvy one who makes this web page the best!

Knife Skills 101. One of these knives is a "loser"?

It's the first knife. It's all stainless with a "never needs sharpening" blade which, in most cases, means, once it loses its edge, it's gone

Take care,

Rita Heikenfeld
