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!

It’s finally happened – I’ve become my grandmother.  I hear my brother’s voice in my head, “Grandma mows her lawn in the morning, and cooks it for dinner.”  We all thought it was hysterical, because it was sort of true, and (we all thought) a little strange.  But now, I’m doing the same thing.  This…

New Restaurant in Temple

We started out Saturday going to the Mayborn Center for the “Day for Women.”  It was and event, I could easily miss next year.  There were a few vendors that were good, but lots of medical type booths.  I really planned the day around going to “93 West” for lunch, because the menu sounds great,…
