About us
Hello! I'm Rebecca Blackwell, a cookbook author, recipe developer, and food photographer.
My husband and I are nomads without a home base but with many modes of transportation, namely an RV, a motorcycle, and a sailboat.
While I have cooked professionally, I am a home cook and baker who writes recipes for other home cooks and bakers. My home happens to have wheels, and occasionally sails, which should tell you that if the recipes work in my tiny kitchen, they will certainly work in yours.
Many of the recipes on this site are tested and photographed by Chef Anne Blackwell.
