Every recipe tells a story.
That's why I launched Postcards from the Kitchen on Substack.
Each week I'll share food traditions, travel adventures, family recipes, and the stories behind the meals that bring us together.
For years I've helped families and organizations preserve their stories through custom cookbooks. Now I'm opening my own kitchen door and inviting you along for the journey.
This photo was taken while my friend, designer extraordinaire, and business BFF Megan Giles and I were testing recipes and enjoying a little wine in Pensacola.
I'd love to have you subscribe and join us.

PARTY ALERT! 🥳
We LOVE celebrating our clients' successes!
Kudos to Chef Jeffrey Schlissel who released his new book: Craveable Obsessed: Journals of a Food Addicted Chef last Friday!
Part self-help essay and part cookbook, this book is one-of-a-kind. If you've ever had a rocky relationship with food, you'll find out right away in the pages of this book that you're not alone.
Right now his book is ranked #40 in Self Help on Amazon, and we hope he keeps climbing all the way to #1.
We are SO happy for you, Jeffrey! 🎉

Restaurants and bars have been welcoming aspiring writers for centuries.
And one of my favorite tips for writers when the words just aren’t flowing is to get out of your everyday space and go find a quiet (or not so quiet) corner of a local café, a bar, or a restaurant.
Do a little people watching. Have a tasty beverage or a snack. Start writing about what you see.
Then, transition into whatever it is you wanted to write about before you started feeling stuck.
I found a couple of sunny corners in NYC at the Hotel Arlo and Rocco’s in Greenwich
When you’re not at your desk, where do YOU like to write?

On a recent trip to Bandera, I stayed in a guest house that had this kitchen. I love the combo of rustic and industrial, and almost everything you see can be found on Amazon.
