Cooking Intuitively features original recipes, food-related tips and discoveries, farmer’s market finds and more. An unfolding of culinary adventures, this blog chronicles – writer, artist and foodie – Kelly Lenihan’s explorations in the kitchen.
Cooking intuitively nourishes Kelly’s never-ending quest to unfold the beauty that exists in everything she touches, tastes and experiences. Since her youth, Kelly has enjoyed browsing open-air markets in Seattle, surrounded by the bustle and beauty of farmers selling luscious fruits and vegetables, glittering with untold possibilities to her inquisitive eyes. Never knowing what she’s going to prepare until she holds each raw jewel in her hand, cooking a meal with vibrant, locally grown fruits and vegetables sustains her, body and soul.
For Kelly, cooking is not about following the rules and getting it right, she rarely use recipes. Rather, cooking is about being creative and enjoying the process, the journey is the reward. Kelly tends to get her food inspiration by spending time at various markets, traditional and farmers, slowly and deliberately perusing the aisles looking to see what’s fresh and glorious, creating menu plans on the fly and filling her basket with ingredients necessary for the dishes already running amok in her imagination. Kelly finds it great fun to discover unusual fruits or vegetables that one might not find in a typical grocery store and figuring out what to do with them.
