April 1, 2000. Welcome to the inaugural issue of KitchenJournal, the e-zine that celebrates the pleasures of the table. This issue is packed with goodies. You can hit the grill with Barbecue Bible author Steven Raichlen by your side, then man the stove for a lesson on spices from Ann Wilder, owner of Vann's Spices. Take an insider's tour of Egg Farm Dairy, Hudson Valley's leading artisanal cheesemaker, then head south for the last word on stone-ground grits from Virginia's Woodson's Mill. Planning a Mid-Atlantic adventure? We've got the low-down on Delaware's Brandywine Valley, complete with terrific restaurant recommendations. Great stories about food, travel, and fun -- these are the things you can expect from KitchenJournal each and every month. Cheers!
