I quickly made my way to the cashier, adding a sixth spine to my back-bound portable library.

I’m excited to share the first guest blog post with you!

I’m Annelies Zijderveld, the food poet. Welcome to this gathering of food, poetry and art for one seriously delicious party. Food and poetry tug at the edges of my mind whether it’s a line that grips me with its beauty or an idea in the kitchen that compels me to cook.
