My Mission
"Connect, contribute, and inspire through food, people, and shared passion."
WRITING
We met on Twitter, interest piqued by each other’s profiles, and conversed about our shared passions and interests in 140 characters or less. We eventually did brunch to determine if virtual admiration would lead to in-person friendship. It did, and we continue to meet regularly over coffee and something sweet.
Jodi‘s a professional editor; Deborah‘s a chef. We both like to write for public consumption, and we both read - a lot. We find the term "blogger" ill-fitting (the search is on for a bespoke identifier) and agree that there is an abundance of good food storytelling online - via narrative, recipes, and images - crafted by passionate amateurs like us. We’re publishing our favourite finds on the 1st and 15th of each month. Subscribe to either of our feeds to get our updates, and join in the hunt - leave a comment to tell us about your food-writing discoveries.
