Top L-R Lynn Hill, Rebecca Blackwell, Bottom L-R Rachel Ciordas & Perzen Patel.

, is the chief cook and bottle washer behind the FoodStack Library.

She is the author of two cookbooks and has been blogging since 2009 after seeing the film Julie and Julia. Her first blog, ‘The Bake and Cake Project,’ was a bit of a flop and sank in the middle, but the lessons learned have helped her build numerous, more successful websites since.

With experience as a food blogger and her mantra ‘A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats’ shining a light on other food bloggers and writers, here on Substack is now her mission during her retirement through the FoodStack Library. As she says, it helps keep her brain active.
