Pull up a chair.There's always plenty.

I'm Bonnie. I cook in a yellow kitchen and I make far too much of everything — so come hungry. Every recipe here is real, tested in my own oven, and meant to be shared.

What's on the counter

A few to start you off. The kind that fill a kitchen and disappear before they cool.

A sunny yellow kitchen table set with blue-and-white china and an empty ladder-back chair pulled out

There's always a place set, and always room for one more.

the one rule

Nobody leaves my door empty.

I never learned to cook for one, so I make enough for the whole table — and there's always somebody glad to carry a plate home.

A little about me

Cooking for two, late — and then for one.

There's a story behind most everything in this kitchen: the neighbors who pull up a chair, Harold's garden out back, his mother's splattered index cards. I'll tell you those too, if you let me. I do go on.
