Haute Coturnix

We recently added Coturnix (aka Japanese) Quail to our backyard flock of chickens and ducks, and I’m looking forward to some little spotted eggs as soon as they get settled from the move. They aren’t too fond of us just yet, but quail are relatively easy to take care of and very efficient egg (and meat) producers.

Mentioned in Austin Woman

The latest issue of Austin Woman has a feature on Chef Alma, of Fonda San Miguel Restaurant. The garden and myself get a nice mention too.
