We are lady crows united in our love for all that is delicious. The simple, the complicated, the familiar and the exotic- always fresh, always satisfying. Started in Jamaica Plain but now have nests in Chicago, San Francisco, and Montreal. We share recipes, cooking successes and cooking failures, what we made together and made apart, reviews of local eateries, tips on great ingredients and of course Cocktails.
Now I'm hungry again...
