Welcome to The Feisty Ginger!  I’m Carol and I hope this site encourages you to find a way to create your own joy in the kitchen.  Most of my posts include recipes inspired by a dish I've had on a trip, a request from a friend for something specific, or my re-creation of a dish that I’ve researched the story and history behind.  Most recently I’ve spent my time scaling my favorites dishes to serve two. My food is not fancy, but it's from the heart.  Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the Prairie!
