    Wild Caught, Home Grown, always fresh

    I grew up on a fishing boat so seafood is more than a garnish to me, it's the flavor of home. These days I forage mushrooms from island forests, grow what I can in my city-sized kitchen garden, and turn all of it into recipes real people can actually cook on a weeknight.

    Photographer, food writer, mom and unapologetic mushroom hunter, I am Sabrina Currie. Welcome to my West Coast Kitchen Garden.
