Tableau Vivante

Tableau Vivante is the blog of a farmers’ market fanatic and haphazard foodie who lives and works in Southern California.

Expect many pictures, poor editing, and a distinct lack of fact-checking. I am not a food writer. I am not a journalist. We have plenty of fine professionals out there to provide that.

BUT! I am passionate about fresh, local produce, the farmers who produce it, and the food that you can make from it. I also love small, local producers who wow me with flavor and quality. This includes coffee shops, cafes, bakeries, delis, restaurants, farms, and factories. I try to do justice to all of it by documenting and sharing it with you here.

When I travel, I seek out all of the above.

I live just outside of L.A. (eastside, yo) with my husband JJ and my dog Emma. People interested in chatting with me about my photography, my writing, or food in general are encouraged to e-mail me at tvivante at yahoo dot com.

Also, I have a mean menudo recipe and have a good biscuit hand. I share both when asked.
