About Me
- Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen
- From the mountains to the seashore, United States
- I'm a retired executive turned writer & food columist. Currently I write a food column, “From My Carolina Kitchen,” for my local newspaper. I have entered three recipe contests and was a winner in each: Won the state of Mississippi's Chicken Contest in 1993 and participated in the 40th annual National Chicken Contest, one of the "big three" national competitions. It is the oldest contest of its kind. I wrote a food column for The Abaconian newspaper when my husband Meakin and I lived in the "Out-Islands" of the northern Bahamas in Abaco on the tiny tropical island of Lubbers Quarters. I am a member of North Carolina Writers Network.

Garnish with a chive blossom. Serve on neutral tasting cracker such as Carrs or Stoned Wheat Thins. Serves 4 as an appetizer or 2 for a light dinner.
