Olive to Cook was born in 2010 out of my passion for food, wine, home, and craft. From a sandwich to an elaborate 10 course meal, I love the challenge of excellent execution. A close friend of my mother’s said to me on my wedding day, “Love is in the details,” and that’s exactly what I strive for in my cooking and dining. Maybe it’s sauce that takes a dish over the edge or simply letting a piece of meat rest properly before carving–these details bring a plate to its ultimate destiny–in a beautiful photograph and in my happy belly. Over the past ten years, I’ve also picked up quite an addiction to many hobbies: knitting, crochet, sewing, embroidery, design. Food and crafts are treasured in this same detailed way. The feel of a cashmere yarn, the vibrant colors in fabric, the character in a vintage rug. Details shmetails, I want to treasure them all. Yes, “Olive” to cook, and I “olive” crafts, “olive” home, and most of all, “olive” my husband, Nick. He inspires me everyday to push myself, to perfect those little details, and bring the best I can to olivetocook.com. I hope you enjoy your visit.
I have a career in book publishing marketing, while I also do freelance writing and photography. If you’re interested in my writing or photography for your outlet, please be in touch at olivetocookblog@gmail.com.

Hi there,
I am looking for stinger jalapeños. When doing a google search, your site comes up, but the post is not archived. Can you lead me in the direction to buy some of these puppies?
Thanks in advance!
Best,

hi there! Sorry about that–I moved blog platforms recently and some posts didn’t move over. I originally posted on jalapeno stinger pizza at Colony Grill in Stamford CT. You could try contacting them to source their awesome stingers. Good luck!
