And so it began...

in the kitchen of Pine C, an off-campus apartment deep within the ancient pines of Bowdoin College.  Three friends, Iris, Amanda, and Robert, turned the mosquito-bitten, franzia-soaked, and poverty-ridden nights of a college summer in Maine into an excuse for indulgence.  In food.  Local food, healthy food, good food.  As an admitted escape from our exhausting workdays, we started our cooking tradition in good company, strong appetite, and a passion for delicious (and sometimes decadent, yet always worthwhile) culinary curiosity.


As our summer began to wind down, it crossed our minds that our upcoming fall semester would bring about some inevitable changes to our daily and weekly patterns: more specifically, Iris would be leaving for a semester in Italy; Amanda, a semester in Spain; and Robert would be spending his semester on campus.  


In this light, we decided to pay homage to our summer fun, and to the forest of pines where our adventures started.  We decided that, if we couldn't be together, among the pantries of Pine C, we would unify our culinary passions in the form of a blog.  A blog of local food, healthy food, and good food.  From three friends, three kitchens, three countries,  but only one sentiment:  in order to live well, one must eat well.
