About Cycling Chef

"Rosewater," my Electra Townie 7D

I’m a cyclist, foodie, bookworm, locavore and wine swirler. Our family rides bikes for transportation, recreation, fitness and sport. My three and half bikes are a road bike, a mountain bike, my beloved slow bike, a fuchsia Electra Townie 7D I call ”Rosewater,” and I’m the stoker on our Co-Motion tandem bike. My oldest son is a college junior and my youngest is a third grader, enthusiastic cyclist and adventurous eater.

The VeloKitchen is where my husband and I cook our meals from scratch. We focus on eating local, in-season, healthy, cuisines from around the world. We enjoy experimenting with different ingredients and cooking techniques. Blog posts from the VeloKitchen are musings of about 500 words.

In September 2009 we embarked on a “50 Curries Project” where we are cooking our way through Camellia Panjabi’s cookbook 50 Great Curries of India. You might also like to join our fun on Twitter @cycling_chef or by becoming a fan of Cycling Chef on Facebook.
