In The Cottage Kitchen

This month's Favorite Food Site...a library of great recipes for the cottage cook.

 

When Sara Foster first opened her gourmet market in Durham, North Carolina in 1990, she fully intended to offer specialty grocery items, locally roasted coffee, a modest wine selection and a few take out seasonal prepared foods, with limited seating for the occasional sit down diner. 

Today, however, her market, along with a second Foster's Market in nearby Chapel Hill, has greatly expanded its seating and is known for its trendy atmosphere and appealing food. Also, she has garnered a growing national reputation that includes several cookbooks and repeated television appearances with Martha Stewart and other notable chefs and cooking personalities.  

For anyone who can not get to her markets, FostersMarket.com offers an inviting opportunity to explore the variety and range of her talents. Unlike many restaurant owners, she makes many of her recipes freely available on the site, along with an extensive video library that is both informative and simple to use.  Plus, the tasteful design and user-friendliness of her site sets it apart from other online food pages.  And the absence of any distracting ads only enhances its appeal.  >Take a look...
