Carey from Reclaiming Provincial- Food Blogger

"Hey there! I’m Carey. Ex–picky eater. Ex-vegetarian. Book maker and author wrangler by trade. Gardener / over-enthusiastic caterer / researcher at heart. Lover of cats, autumn, and runny eggs.

I was born and raised in rural upstate NY, just a short distance from the gorgeous and bountiful Schoharie Valley. After spending nearly a decade in the Capital District, I relocated to Burlington, VT. Living in Vermont has allowed me to reconnect with local agriculture, with an appreciation that I was not capable of in my youth.

My culinary interests run the gamut from simple and healthy to sweet and indulgent, with an ambitious project every now and then. I find great satisfaction in learning how to make the most basic of things from scratch, and I enjoy nothing more than food that is intertwined with memory and tradition — cultural, personal, or otherwise. Of all the enjoyment that running a blog has brought me, the sharing of experiences and foods deeply rooted in nostalgia between myself and readers is by far the most rewarding.

What you’ll find here . . .
Plenty of seasonal recipes and baked goods, along with the occasional beverage, homemade candy, and whoops-I-messed-up post. While I no longer restrict myself to a vegetarian diet, much of what I eat and make remains meat-free. And although I have overcome most of the food neurosis of my youth, the one thing I still avoid like the plague is the onion. I like scallions and I love ramps, so I realize this is a nonsensical aversion (which would more accurately be described as an enduring childhood phobia). I’m working on it!"
