Food creates community and helps us tell our stories.
The food we prepare is a living history, a celebration of the present, and a declaration of hope for the future.

I am Patrice Johnson, a food writer, cooking instructor, recipe developer, and speaker who believes food is a perfect tool for storytelling.
