I'm a novelist, a baker, and a photographer – three crafts that all happen by hand, each requiring its own kind of magic to transform raw ingredients into something beautiful. That's what you'll find here – the magic behind the making. Recipes that appear in my books (and kitchen), photographs from my creative process, reflections on the writing life, and occasional features on and from creators whose work inspires me. I'll visit your inbox every six weeks or so with something nourishing – whether that's a story, a recipe, or simply a moment of beauty.
