Cooking has not stopped during the pandemic. In fact, the importance of maintaining a local source of trusted producers
and that of healthy, beautiful home cooking have never been greater.
I wish you good health and resilient spirits. Together we will get through this.

Take care, Laurence

Santa Barbara area residents who need home delivery of Farmers Market Fresh Foods can contact Julia,
she is offering a weekly service that combines beautiful seasonal produce with deliciouly healthy vegetarian prepared foods.

Created by Laurence Hauben, Market Forays offers more than cooking classes.
It opens a window into a more gracious, relaxed, and happier way of life.
Sharing the bounty of local, seasonal foods was just the beginning.

From my French childhood I inherited a love of cooking and an almost visceral passion for fresh, high quality ingredients.
The years I spent in Africa taught me true hospitality. The gift of spending my adult life in California has been increasing freedom,
grounded in French techniques but emboldened by the multi-ethnic richness of the New World.
The result is a colorful cuisine that follows the seasons, centered on the amazing ingredients
grown, caught and raised by small producers and artisans who have become my friends.
When you join my table, you are invited to share not only in the food, but also in the friendship.

I look forward to cooking with you,

Laurence
