Recipes – the art of writing instructions on how to create something delicious.

 I love recipes, and almost better, I love hearing the stories behind recipes.

 Last December, I saw a heartwarming article in the Chicago Tribune about Ina Pinkney, who’d written a cookbook in the midst of retiring from her restaurant in Chicago.  I couldn’t stop thinking about Ina’s story, so my husband ordered me a copy of her cookbook--Taste Memories—Recipes for Life and Breakfast—for Christmas.  What a treasure this cookbook is!  Gorgeous color photographs, delightful recipes, and tender stories about her life.  A perfect combination.  Order a copy for yourself from Ina Pinkney.

    I am a children’s writer and youth librarian who’s passionate about literature, libraries, and art.

    The path before me unwinds in ways that surprise, delight, and befuddle.  I hope you’ll join me to see where it leads.
