As part of my One Little Word for 2014 (WRITE), I'm writing up a food themed mini-zine each month in 2014. February's theme was DRINK - so this issue is filled with drink themed essays and recipes. Issues are available here.

Writer vs Author // Chef vs Cook
At
the Brockton Writer's Series (hosted by Full of Beans) earlier this
month, the guest speakers stated that he viewed himself as a writer
instead of an author. I believe this is because writers use the
medium of words to educate while authors have a burning desire to
write – they cannot chose not to write. Authors have to write or
their stories will overtake them.
As
my one little word of 2014 is WRITE this little statement reminded me
of the interplay between chef and cook. Cooks are generally viewed as
lesser than chef (especially due to the cult of the celebrity) but I
believe that cooks are the educators and truly passioned individuals
of the food industry. Cooks cannot chose an different
profession/passion. Chefs chose their career and the motivation isn't
food in and of itself.
What do you think of my descriptions of these categories?
What
did I WRITE in January?
MonthlyMini: Iss 001 NOG
"The Post-Apocalyptic Kitchen: Aged Eggnog" (Paperdroids)
“BakingThrough Anxiety” (Guest Post)
“SpicyPear Cocktail” (Tall Boys)

Eating the Web: Tumblr Addition
I've discovered Tumblr. Or rather I've tumbled down a hole called Tumblr. I've even launched a new 'WRITE' themed project at: http://bake-at-350.tumblr.com/. I've come across some beautiful, touching, funny and just plain wonderful food themed posts on tumblr. Here are a few of my favorites.
