Welcome Deseret News readers! For those of you who haven't heard yet, I was mentioned in an article in the Deseret Morning News today about food bloggers.
For those of you who are new here, let me tell you my story. I am a computer geek. Some years ago I abandoned the tech industry to go to cooking school at the Atlantic Culinary Academy in Dover, NH. Shortly before graduating, I was interviewed for an article in the Boston Globe about former techies starting over in new fields. I was quoted as saying, "the Internet thing was not panning out".
Around that same time, I was seeking out an internship. I doubt she remembers this, but I emailed Valerie Phillips, the food editor at the Deseret News, asking for advice. Her reply was prompt and thoughtful, and found me working for a season at the Deer Valley ski resort.
As the ski season ended, the Internet thing started panning out. I'm now a QA Engineer at United Online, which really is the best job that I've ever had (Deer Valley is a close second). I'm cooking in my spare time, with a focus on baking. Lately I've been building cakes, such as the 3D Tux the Penguin Cake and the Black Chandelier cake.

Thank you for visiting my little blog, and I hope you enjoy your stay!
