Questions and Answers: Evan Fielding Ask anyone on campus what their favorite part of the day is and you’re likely to get the same answer: lunch. More Notes was curious to see exactly what kind of magic occurs in the High Mowing kitchen that keeps us all coming back for more.

You might say we are dedicated to presenting the beauty of nature at each meal — to bring the best of the outdoors, indoors. We serve only fresh food, prepared by hand. Q: Who helps you? A: The kitchen staff has eleven members. We
work as a team and are a very stable group. I’ve been here at High Mowing since 2002 and am aided by my wife Wendy—who does the baking—and many other capable people. Some, like Bill Soodak ’74, who does the nighttime cooking, have been here almost as long as me.
