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.

Recipe testing for upcoming savory æbleskiver class means a solid acknowledgment that the original recipe @mnfloral shared with me years ago is the best. I’ve been riffing on that recipe ever since and whenever I try a new one, I’m unhappy. Happily creating lox and cream cheese with everything bagel æbleskiver, choose your own adventure potato æbleskiver (loaded baked potato or caviar chips ), and savory corn, jalapeños, and honey… Stress æbleskivering is highly recommended for those in need of calming actions and tasty bites. Æbleskivers, birthdays, and parallel universes all contemplated in this week’s Nordic Food Geek Newsletter.
