Eat This While You Read That!

Eat This While you Read That! was born of my passions for reading, cooking, and photography. I’ve been reading at the table since I was big enough to hold a book in one hand and a fork in the other. I’ve been cooking since I was a tiny blonde-headed girl, nut-brown from the sun, and standing on a milkcrate to reach the counters. I vividly recall the first full meal I made my family, when I was nine. And the German Chocolate Cake from scratch. Add to that my Dad putting a camera in my hand at the age of six, and it’s only natural I’d want to combine all those pleasures.

I also wanted to do something for my friends and mentors to thank them for the books I’ve read and loved over the years. This whole thing started out on a whim, but I’m hoping I can keep it going for a long time. I’ve read a lot of books! If you’d like to nominate an author, feel free to reach out to me. No promises, because I have to come up with a dish from them, which might not be easy.

All I ask from the authors is the name of a dish they enjoy eating, and the title of the book they want me to promote. Many authors offer me a full recipe, which I appreciate, but I also know how busy they are, so I don’t ask for more than the name. The rest of it I take from there, and magic happens along the way.
