Photo: Food & Wine / Amazon My mom is incredible. Growing up, she stayed home with my brothers and me, and worked hard to create a beautiful home that pulsed with happiness. Every holiday felt magical because of her festive decorating and contagious joy. Her tables were beautifully set with perfectly coordinated color schemes and sentimental vintage dishes and glassware. For all her domestic talents, though, there was one task she never quite warmed to — cooking.

Photo: Food & Wine / Amazon Camping season is here, and with it comes the excitement of roasted marshmallows, freshly caught fish sizzling over an open flame, and more delicious memories just waiting to be made. Cooking in the great outdoors is always fun, but it can be tricky. Contending with the absence of modern conveniences such as refrigeration and convection ovens and setting up a working but portable kitchen can be challenging.

Photo: Food & Wine / Amazon Warm weather has finally arrived, which means it’s time to uncover the grill, dust off the tongs, and ignite the fire that will kick off barbecue season. Most at-home grill masters have fiery feelings about all things barbecue. Perhaps the most hotly debated topic is whether a charcoal or gas grill is the superior choice. Of course, there are pros and cons to each. Gas offers better temperature control, quicker cooking, ease of use, and more precision.

Photo: Food & Wine / Amazon I live in Oregon, which is known for being one of the rainier parts of the country, and honestly, I love it. There's something romantic about the drizzle and the coziness it brings. I have to admit, though, that after months and months of wet weather, there's nothing better than those first warm days of spring and summer. It’s a time for beach days, sidewalk chalk, and homemade lemonade.

Photo: Food & Wine / Amazon My husband and I met in culinary school about 15 years ago, and we both work in the food industry. He’s a chef at a fabulous steakhouse, and I’m a food writer constantly testing kitchen tools and developing recipes. You would think that when we have a day off together, we’d spend it as far away from the kitchen as possible, but cooking is what brought us together, and it’s our favorite thing to do on date night.
