WELCOME TO DOG IN THE KITCHEN
What began with my love of dogs, cooking and illustration has grown into a deliciously wandering collection of recipes and stories inspired by places we’ve traveled, places close to home, people and dogs we’ve loved, things growing in the garden—and sometimes simply whatever happens to be simmering in our kitchen.
Along the way you’ll meet Ihana, our Finnish Lapphund and ever-present kitchen companion, Soot, our resident feline food critic, and a growing cast of dogs and other characters who find their way into my artwork and stories.
Pull up a chair. There’s always room at the table.
It’s not just OUR kitchen — it’s YOURS too. What’s simmering?
