It's time to share the mission.
Forest Glen Kitchen.
My in-home dining experience. Food as medicine & functional nourishment. A projet I have been working on for over a decade, now becomes reality, reflects a lifetime of culinary experience and dedication, by studying ingredients as medicine.

Iβm in Cairo, Egypt, and Iβve been reaching out to World Central Kitchen,and others, trying to find a way to volunteer for the displaced in Gaza starting November 1. I have five free days and want to give them fully to this cause.
With respect and gratitude,
Jeremy
If you have constructive advice to offer, Iβm more than willing to listen and reflect on it. However, personal criticisms are neither productive nor helpful. Please understand that I have a family to support, and cooking is how I provide for them. I appreciate your thoughtsβthank you.
I totally understand. Itβs more like .5% but sometimes Iβm cooking a meat heavy meal for a guest. I have to try everything as a professional. But please explain to me why? And donβt make it personal please π
98% plant eater. So plant based is my way of living. Iβm a chef, I cook for all. Iβd love to hear your opinion on this, pleaseπ
Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful day!
