Hi there! I'm Lynley Jones, the creator of Adventure Kitchen. I'm a curious cook, writer and mom and I created Adventure Kitchen for curious cooks and eaters (like me!) of every age. I share new recipes each week, plus I have fun creating quirky recipe series such as People Like Pie, Why Did the Chicken Cross the Globe? and A Series of Unfortunate Recipes (based on the Lemony Snicket books and Netflix series).

Free FOODIE FUN at the Nutley Market Food Fest!
September 11, 2016 at the Nutley Farmers' Market
We had lots of fun at the Nutley Market Food Fest in September! Morning Walk-and-Talk with Lynley on the subject of Raising An Adventurous Eater (or, Becoming One Yourself), plus free lemonade, live music and an activity for kids.
Juicy tomatoes, grilled corn kernels, red onions and cilantro, with a squeeze of lime and just a hint of mild pepper. Simple to make and full of flavor (plan to lick the bowl).
