About Honest Fare

Hello, I’m Gabrielle. Everyone calls me Gabi, which is fine. I started Honest Fare (in Feb. 2009) because I love to cook. And I love to feed people, including myself. I love to make the table look pretty and the people feel comfortable at it. So, since starting a cafe is not in the cards at the moment, this blog is another way for me to do all that.

Honest Fare is all about the the simple art of food preparation. For me, that’s turning a fresh set of ingredients into something beautiful (in both flavor and appearance) that’s worth sharing. What you see here are the culinary experiments that come out of my nothing-special kitchen in Winter Park, Florida. It’s never anything too fancy – just food that looks as good as it tastes and doesn’t require too much thinking.

All these recipes are pretty straightforward for the home chef of all levels, but feel free to get in touch via email or comment if you get stuck or have any questions at all.

Outside of this blog, I cook professionally for La Empanada Food Truck, which I started with a two dear friends in August 2011. Our cute little (well, she’s actually pretty massive) food truck specializes in gourmet empanadas and soups & salads. The food truck thing keeps me pretty busy these days, but this blog will always be my first love. If you’re ever visiting the area, be sure to come by the the truck and introduce yourself!
