About

They say a man’s stomach is the way to his heart. We express our love for our family and friends around a great meal. Food is sustenance but it’s also something we do to care for others. Someone is sick? We bring soup. Someone has suffered a loss? We bring a casserole. You moved into a new neighborhood? A neighbor, brings you lunch. During the Holidays, we cook and bake traditional foods for family, friends and coworkers. The list goes on and on.

ANTHONY BOURDAIN QUOTE

Every day I’m inspired by the city I live in and my travels. Los Angeles offers so many types of cuisines that are always readily available. Our grocery store offerings are as diverse as the customers that shop them. Most communities have Farmers Markets these days or local, neighborhood stores that carry seasonal produce and local specialities. This has just made my interest in food and cooking intensify over the years.

For many years, at the urging of some friends and family I’ve decided to share what I cook. Claudia’s Table is a labor of love – both creative and for sharing. So who is Claudia? It’s my middle name by which my immediate family calls me.

This blog contains vibrant, healthful, shareable, recipes and ideas for everyday and for entertaining. Mostly healthful, somewhat indulgent, and always delicious.  I invite you to browse, engage and let me know what’s on your table today. It is my hope that you will find something new to try and share with your family and friends.

 I look forward to getting to know you better and thank you for stopping by. Check back often to see what is new. (Sign up for our monthly recap of new recipes -I promise, just recipes 👇🏻)

Share the recipes you have made using #claudiastable. I look forward to seeing your pics!
