My recipes are always free of artificial dyes, flavorings, and other iffy additives, which I won’t serve my family—or you!

Since lots of readers aspire to write cookbooks, I also blog on recipe writing and editing and other helpful publishing how-to info accumulated while authoring nearly 20 well-received cookbooks over many years.
