I write about the workplace, productivity, writing, food & cooking, and a smidge about cats. Oh and I wrote this humor piece once upon a time.
Why recipes? — Because I believe it when I say you're a better cook than you think you are.
Speak Coffee To Me is my food blog here on Medium.
I've eschewed a lot of what's trending on food blog formatting right now because, as a user, I find it annoying. So no — I don't repeat the recipe three different ways. No — I don't usually tell you a long story. And no — there aren't any flashing ads or auto-play videos.
I just tell why I like a recipe. I give notes on any tips, tricks, or possible substitutions. And then I give the damn recipe. All in my own idiom.
I imagine it's like getting a very through phone call from me where all you wanted to know was how to make pie ... and now you know everything I know related to all pie ever.
Oh, and this one time I tried to bake along with The Great British Bake Off. I was moderately successful until the pavlova disaster.
