Jody Adams, Seven rider, James Beard Award-winning chef, and owner of Rialto Restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts has launched a new blog, The Garum Factory. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the cuisine of ancient Rome, garum was once considered the “ketchup of the gods”. The Garum Factory provides recipes and reflections on cooking from Jody and her husband, writer Ken Rivard, who has taken all of the gorgeous photographs therein.
Jody has also channeled her passion for riding into a good cause: she has created Team Rialto, which will participate in this year’s Pan Mass Challenge, a ride to raise funds for cancer research at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. One of the ways in which they are raising funds for their team is through a spectacular raffle. Prizes include cooking classes, dinners, and even some cool bike stuff. Speaking of bikes:

Kudos to Jody and Ken on the excellent blog. We look forward to many more food history lessons!
