About Me

Justafoodie: San Francisco, California, United States; I'd say I learned to cook at my grandmother's knee, but she was only 4'11" so I was never short enough for that. Still my love of cooking came directly from her and my love of gardening came from my grandfather. The two of them made me aware of the simple pleasures in life. My blogging started as a way to share my grandmother's recipes with family and friends, and as a means to record my own original recipes which were never written down and therefore reinvented each time I made them.
