Food Lover's Guide to Portland Blog...

began as a collection of some of the research, recipes, images and culinary adventures that went into the making of Food Lover’s Guide to Portland. The first edition came out in 2010 and I started the blog in February 2009 as a companion piece to it and to help organize my thoughts while researching and writing it. The second edition came out in September 2014 from Hawthorne Books. The blog is now home to all different food, drink and beyond things I want to show and tell.

I’m also co-author of Fermenter: DIY Fermentation for Vegan Fare, author of Dumplings Equal Love, co-author of Toro Bravo: Stories. Recipes. No Bull from McSweeney’s, as well as Hello! My Name is Tasty: Global Diner Favorites from Portland’s Tasty Restaurants from Sasquatch Books and Grow Your Own: Understanding, Cultivating, and Enjoying Cannabis from Tin House Books.

I didn’t think I’d like blogging when I first started this, but it turns out I really do, mostly because I get to shout out people and things that I love.

I Love Powell's

Our first official book event for Toro Bravo: Stories. Recipes. No Bull. was over the weekend at Powell's and it was great! Thanks to everyone who came out for it and to the Powell's folks who made it so great esp. Darcy, Morgan, Gin and Jeremy. If you weren't one of the lucky ones to get a pre-release copy of the book at it (we only had 18 copies and folks entered a raffle to get to buy them) Powell's will be locked and loaded with plenty of copies in a couple weeks.

After the reading. Before the bourbon. Sort of...

The official launch date for the book isn't until October 15th after all. (And that's the night of the book launch party at Toro from 5-10pm! Open to the public.) This Friday tune into OPB's Think Out Loud if you want to hear us talk about the book. And if you're around the weekend of October 5th we'll be at Wordstock that Sunday doing the same thing. Our incredible publishing house will be there too!

Hope you're doing well & burning the candle on both ends too. Because that means you're living life to the fullest. Love you.

Toro Bravo: Stories. Recipe. No Bull pub. date Oct. 15th $35, McSweeney's Books Buy from Powell's
