Tales from the Scrawny Gourmet chronicles Jude Waterston’s love of all things culinary. She may weigh in at a scrawny ninety-seven pounds, but she’s a heavyweight in the kitchen.
She writes about the many innovative meals she has cooked for her sister, Janet, with whom she shares a country house in Sullivan county, as well as myriad topics as diverse as picnicking in the backyard; the local farmer’s market; cocktails and hors d’oeuvres with friends by a pond; upstate New York and Manhattan restaurants; and dishes made from ingredients grown locally and from afar.

Hi Jude……I made the apple muffins yesterday……hoping I can keep them for my family gathering tomorrow. I couldn’t resist sitting down after I finished baking and trying one….it is great.
I’ll let you know what the gang has to say…
..Have a great Christmas.
I was dreaming of a white Christmas, but I’ll settle for rain so everyone can travel safely.
I must admit I can’t remember what your old photo looked like but this one is just hunky dorey! I’m going to try the broiled swordfish for dinner one evening soon; Chuck and I are trying to eat lots more fish. Oodles of love, Naomi
Hi Jude,
Jane sent the link to your “Tales from the Scrawny Gournet” all of which I read and immensely enjoyed. You are a talented writer and the personal stories round out your recipes—something like getting to know you through your recipes. Plus, I have been at your table and did get to know you better this past July while at Jane’s for the month. I am sending the link to some of my friends here in Jax so you will now be known in the South. Happy Holidays to you and your family and a squeeze for Janet. Love, Annie
I found out why I didn’t see new articles – my old bookmark went directly only to one article and didn’t show newer ones. Now that’s fixed, and I elevated your bookmark to the very top of my list. Wonderful blog! 🙂

Having eaten two of Jude’s meals, I have to tell you all that she is a great cook who cooks with skill and imagination. Try and get an invitation! You’ll love it. She’s a charming hostess too.
I must say that Jude has helpedme increase my love for cooking, i’ve learned techniques, new condiments, foods, ingredients since we met 2 years ago. Everyday it’s new adventure for me in the kitchen, thanks to her help.
I have been reading the delightful, heartfelt stories and recipes by Jude Waterston for many years in the now defunct Town Crier newspaper. I was overjoyed to find that her voice now has a place in cyberspace. I look forward to each and every recollection and recipe that Ms. Waterston has in store for us. She is an inventive cook and natural-born author.
Hey Jude,
Wonderful stories-really entertaining and evocative.
