Welcome to Feasting at Home<\/strong>. I'm Sylvia Fountaine- former restaurant owner, caterer, and chef, based in the Pacific Northwest, sharing healthy, seasonal, plant-forward recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feasting at Home is a celebration of whole foods and the beautiful produce each season brings.<\/strong> My hope is that this space becomes a calm, inspiring space for you to create simple abundance<\/em> in your own kitchen. \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n

Where Healthy Meets Delicious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After more than 25 years in the food industry<\/strong>-ten years running an upscale vegetarian restaurant (Mizuna<\/a>), then ten years of catering weddings (Feast Catering Co.)-I've gathered valuable tips and techniques that make cooking easy, approachable, and a lot more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or an omnivore,<\/strong> one thing unites us all: cooking from scratch with real, whole foods is one of the most nourishing gifts we can give ourselves and those we love.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Chef-Created Recipes That Work! \ud83d\ude4c<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Long before Feasting at Home, there was a restaurant and two young women with big dreams. My high school friend Tonia and I opened a vegetarian restaurant<\/a> in Spokane in our early twenties. Yes, it still exists! Ten years later, I started a catering business called Feast, and then in 2011, my food blog, Feasting at Home, was born. Years later, Tonia - former chef and co-owner of Mizuna Restaurant - found her way back to the kitchen with me, and we're creating together once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a newspaper clipping of us in our early twenties at Mizuna, circa 2000, in Spokane, Washington - a sweet reminder of where it all began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
