I’ll second deg’s thanks, Dorothy. I appreciate you taking the time to interact with us. My grandfather is a fantastic home cook, and so I became interested in cooking partly because I love him and partly because I love eating good food. So over time I’ve realized I’m a “Foodie” (as if being a Trekkie weren’t bad enough). If the Food Network did pledge drives like PBS, I would be getting the mug and tote bag. I just find food endlessly fascinating: its part science, part history, part anthropology, part sociology, and plus you get to eat it, so I don’t see what’s not to like.

And anytime you want to do a guest blog on your experience recreating the TOS food cubes, you have at least one attentive reader

AH, well thanks for so much chimin’ in and answerin’ my Q so comprehensively, Dorth! Very cool, and congrats on all those culinary accomplishments, and fun had. You really do have your hand in it, eh.

I’ve said it before, but really, your Trek dishes are works of art, eh. The TOS ones esp. as TOS always had a very specific look, and Doug wasn’t kiddin’ when he said; I’ve got the gal for you! You nailed the TOS feel with those dishes, and then some, I’m tellin’ you, eh!

So thanks again, and thanks for your unique Trek contributions, and I look forward to hearing more about your adventures in Trek, and your sharings on stuff.

Oh, and best of luck and success with those two projects you mentioned on the radio interview, eh. Look forward to hearing some more about those as well.

LLP, and yummy in the tummy!

deg!
It’s genetic — maternal grandfather was a chef in the Navy, mom was a fabulous, adventurous cook and Aunt Lois could, and did, bake anything and everything. There was no escaping food! Also hung out a lot next door when I was a kid — the Consolaziones had some of the best food around, and plenty of it. Have always loved eating and cooking!
Got published in Gourmet, Bon Appetit and Cooking Light. Worked as the Assistant Food Editor at the LA Daily News. Connected with a friend at the gym, Karen Gillingham, who was a food stylist. Did a shoot for Bon Appetit magazine as Karen’s assistant and was hooked. Met propmaster Craig Binkley on a visit to the Enterprise Art Department, and the rest is history! Live long, eat well, be happy!

Very nice, eh. That kitch’ is too cool too. Now where did Dorth pick up her mad cookin’ skillz? Self-taught via the love of it, or did she attend school or culinary classes of some sort?

Dwight! Great idea! Dorth put together the menu for Sisko’s kitchen. I’ll dig that up and run it, along with an interesting story about Vulcan’s and catfish. – Doug

I seem to recall something about the Sisko family’s history with cuisine. Might be another good theme for food postings down the line…

I will attest to that. It’s a miracle that I don’t weigh 300lbs – Doug
