Editor's Note - September 2022

I should have a sign in my kitchen that says: “My favorite thing to make for dinner is reservations.” Over the past 20 years, The Buzz has featured countless incredible recipes. I have yet to make a single one – cooking is not my thing. Thankfully, Michael doesn’t mind. But I enjoy reading about these recipes (I keep telling myself this will be the one I make) and I love reading about the talented chefs behind those recipes. Sometimes, neighbors share beloved family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation; other times, professional chefs have been willing to share their five-star recipes with our readers. In this issue, we highlight some outstanding recipes from foodie neighbors Julia Hellums, who has worked alongside Martha Stewart, and Chris Catechis, who inherited his love of cooking from his dad. Whether you relish experimenting in the kitchen or prefer to peruse The Buzz while ordering takeout, we hope you find some delicious inspiration in this issue. Bon appétit. [email protected]
