Cathy Barrow

I cook and garden in Washington, DC, with my mostly vegetarian husband, Dennis, scruffy dog, Louie, and elegant white cat, Beans. We live next to Rock Creek Park and share the flower garden with too many deer, raccoon, fox, possum and the occasional coyote to even think about growing vegetables. My kitchen is where my creativity is expressed - where all that I've learned and practiced - food preservation, ancient ways, modern techniques – mix with my ever present curiosity and the practical need to just make dinner.
