A NOTE FROM THE KITCHENA.

AT HOME IN VENICE

Hey, I'm Adam.
Welcome to Swell Fed Family.

I've spent years cooking for people I love, making big family dinners, and turning whatever's in the fridge into something good. During my wife's pregnancy, I kept trying to figure out where I'd fit in this new family structure, so I started using what I knew in the kitchen to get ready for what feeding our family would actually mean once our baby arrived. After he was born, I put that to work: meals built to support us as we adjusted, and to keep my wife fed and well nourished.

My role in feeding this family keeps changing with whatever phase our baby is in. Right now, that means meals that are quicker to get on the table and easier to make together, so we spend less time in the kitchen and more time actually present with each other. Swell Fed Family is where I share that, as it keeps evolving. Come cook with me.
