Exposing what dwells within.
Since the launch of Beyond the Flavor in March 2012, Sarah and I have dreamed of creating a printed publication that celebrates our vibrant local food scene. With the help of some amazing people, we've done it.
Introducing Charlottesville COMMONS 2013...available for preorder here!
I've done a horrible job of keeping up with images from our features on Beyond the Flavor over here on the Andrea Hubbell blog. Be sure to check out these amazing people and their delicious recipes!
And, if you're not familiar with Beyond the Flavor, here's what we're all about: Our mission is to inspire readers with the stories of Charlottesville's farmers, chefs, winemakers, and artisans told through beautiful photographs and evocative words, most often centered around their preparation and sharing of a meaningful meal. By documenting who makes up this town that's so dedicated to the locavore movement, we aim to be the visual voice for everyone who believes that ideal nourishment comes from the earth, people, and passion within our own communities. (thank you, Megan Headley, for summing us up so perfectly.)
Now, go eat!

We had such fun getting to know the guys behind Potter's Craft Cider, Dan and Tim. They were the sweetest hosts, and made us the best cider-braised chicken, duck fat potatoes, and greens. It was the perfect meal for a beautiful fall afternoon. Read their full story on Beyond the Flavor!

After several lunches, many glasses of wine, long hikes with our dogs and an inspiring trip to New Orleans with our husbands, Sarah and I took a leap and combined our two visions to create this delicious collaboration. We love working together, and are thrilled to finally share our new project with you.
Introducing...Beyond the Flavor!
We believe that recipes are deeper than the ingredients used to prepare them, and are reaching beyond the flavor to capture the stories behind meals shared at the tables of local chefs, farmers, bakers, and food enthusiasts. We hope you'll visit, sit back and enjoy the stories behind the meals that fill our town. This is just the beginning.
