Experiment. That's what Cooking is all about. -Chuck Williams

Welcome to Healdsburg Table.

This has been a work in progress and was born years ago. My love for cooking and entertaining started when I was young, thanks to the best teacher — my grandmother, Binky. She threw the best parties and never got flustered. She put so much love into the menu, the food and wine, and always set the most beautiful tables for each dinner. I learned to love cooking because she always had me help with the preparation—and the tasting!

When I lived in Boston and was working while going to graduate school, I would entertain all the time. I loved having friends over and sharing wine and food. When I met my husband and realized we shared a love for cooking, wine, and sharing meals with friends and family, I started keeping a journal of all the meals we prepared. I love cookbooks, though I mostly use them for baking — I can easily throw together a meal without one.

After a few years of marriage and a couple hundred meals later, I turned that journal into a cookbook, and my grandmother helped share a very rough version with her friends. It was a “hit” on a very local level. Someday, I hope to revise it and get it published.

This site is all the things I love. It was really born because friends would ask how I managed to plan and cook healthy meals for my family while being a busy mom. Honestly, it’s just something I enjoy — and thankfully, my kids are the most UNPICKY eaters! I wanted to show my friends that it’s absolutely possible to make healthy, easy meals for your family that are quick and delicious.

I also wanted to help take the stress out of grocery shopping and meal planning — especially when everyone in the family has their own idea of what they want to eat. And yes, I wanted to take the microwave and frozen food aisle out of the equation.

It runs four times a year and includes 2 reds and 2 whites — 2 domestic and 2 European. All of the wines come from small, carefully selected wineries and are handpicked by my husband and me. We curate each shipment with the season, celebrations, holidays, and simple enjoyment in mind. We put a lot of time (and tasting!) into each box.

Healdsburg Table is full of doable recipes, cooking and baking tips, ideas, and more. PLUS— we have the best WINE CLUB!

The total price is $125 (before tax and shipping), and sometimes we even include beautiful rosés or sparkling wines from Italy or France. It’s definitely a HAPPY Box.

The WINE CLUB makes a great gift — for yourself, a friend, family member, colleague, or anyone who enjoys wine and wants to learn more. We include tasting notes and recipes from the blog that pair beautifully with each wine.

Thank you for checking out Healdsburg Table. Come join the fun, cook with me, and let’s talk all things food, wine, and more.

Cheers,

Elizabeth
