My name is Tricia Whittemore and I love food. No. I looooove food. And wine. And eating. And cooking.
I’m no professional chef or professional food critic, and certainly no professional wine taster, but I pursue all of the above with passion.
My favorites: Cheese. Bread. Wine. Avocado. Salt. Heirloom tomatoes. Brussels sprouts. Olives. Dulce de leche Haagen Daz.
I am NOT a picky eater, but I can do without: Celery. Ketchup (ick). Most bottled salad dressings. Tomato juice.
I cannot do without my Wusthof chef’s knife, mini food processor and stacks (stacks!) of cookbooks.
I hate to put away dishes. I’ll wash them, but getting them back in cabinets and drawers is often postponed indefinitely.
I’m originally from New Hampshire. I lived in San Diego, CA for 10 years, and relocated two years ago to Manhattan for a new job. I am in foodie heaven here, but still cooking in my little kitchen every chance I get.

I don’t like ketchup either. My boyfriend thinks it’s un-American. Hah!
It probably is, but I prefer to take the stance that our refined palates have just moved beyond silly things like ketchup!
I am waiting for “The Itsy Bitsy Kitchen” TV Show & Cookbook to appear. The Food Network needs a show geared to singles, young couples and others with small kitchens. A cookbook full of “Trish’s Dishes” with your smiling face and an “itsy bitsy” dish on the cover. It would be a Best Sella… WooHoo!
Thanks so much, Phil! 🙂
You have a great blog! I too am from NH!! But we moved away last year:-)
Thanks, Meaghen! 🙂
Your blog is one of my favourites, and I’ve nominated it for the “One Lovely Blog Award.”
Wow, thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
Tricia! How have I not read your blog before tonight?! Or even talked to you about our mutual love of all things food/cooking? Oh, I know why, we had our heads buried in work 🙂 It seems I love everything you love, well except for that I’m gluten-free. Next time you are in the islands we must do a foodie date. Keep the posts coming, I’ll be sure to check them out.
How awesome, Char! I had no idea we had that in common either! Thanks for checking it out…and yes, a foodie date is definitely in order!
