Dining with the Beekeeper's Wife

We've now moved to our retreat and retirement home in Marion on the southern coast of Massachusetts full-time. And we are spending the winters in our Florida townhome in Fort Myers. We spend a lot of time in our kitchens and love to cook for ourselves and others. I guess you can call us foodies and we love it.

Gerry and Charlotte

We started this journal in June of 2011 after we married in 2007, recreated a great kitchen in our Norfolk home (Gerry's home since 1987) and we discovered new delicious experiences.

Since moving in the summer of 2012 - into two wonderful new kitchens in Norwood and Marion - we became even bigger foodies. (Pun intended.)

Update in 2019! Now that we've sold our Norwood home, we look forward to having all our recipes in one place - online - when we travel to our condo in Florida or our home in Marion.

We've included family recipe favorites and favorites from websites, and cooking and baking books. As a retired librarian (2021), I know where to find great recipe books.

Sadly, Gerry has ended his beekeeping due to pesticides killing his hives, but we are always looking for ways to use honey in drinks and recipes.
