I started “The District Domestic” to share my passion for incredible food, beautiful days in the garden and fine homekeeping.
I love to cook and host elegant dinner parties, explore vineyards and go wine-tasting, make special jams and jellies, buy local produce at farmer’s markets and travel the world. Some of my favorite cookbooks include Michel Richard’s Happy in the Kitchen, The Silver Spoon and Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook.
In my “spare” time, I’m the Creator and Co-Owner of Haute Papier, a couture stationery studio in Washington, DC.
The District Domestic is in the process of expanding – stay tuned as we grow and as always, let us know what you would like to see more of!
Please send any question, comments, concerns, event announcements or recipe ideas to Sarah Meyer Walsh at TheDistrictDomestic@gmail.com

Sarah..great site. I too love to cook and host parties and isn’t it funny that it was one of DC’s (your home town)finest pizzerias–Pizzeria Paradiso–which gave me the inspiration for a wood fired pizza oven in my new home! I’ll keep reading! felixpapadakis.wordpress.com
Thanks!

I just left you a comment on your vegetable gratin recipe – I love your site! I have a similar one that I’d like to add you to, if that’s alright with you. I think we have very similar sensibilities.

HI Sar, is it too late for the t-shirt contest. I hadn’t checked your site in time and I would love a chance to win one.

So, I just happened to be searching for some info on elderberry fritters, which have been an old favorite in my family but I havn’t had in years, and saw the link to your site here. I decided to check it out because I just thought it was kindof funny that, besides the Walsh part, we have the same name (and most people I’ve ever talked to have never even heard of elderberry fritters!) Anyway, you’ve got some great recipes here…I enjoyed exploring your site
take care
