Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

November (2013) at the Lodge

Posted on November 12, 2013 by Lanie Fioretti

It’s deer season, and that means I’m cooking at the lodge again.  I’ve been working on menus for a while, so they are getting a bit more streamlined.  There are a couple new items this fall, and some appetizers with a bit more flair, for now anyway! I did make the baked pancake one morning,…
