March’s New Members

We have three new members in March.

Please welcome Dana from Dana’s Dish. She is a beginning blogger who lives in Austin, Texas. She enjoys visiting her local farmers markets and feeding her family. She’s currently experimenting with juicing, raw foods, and gluten-free recipes.

Next we greet Mindy from Relocation: The Blog. She recently took a food memoir class and has just reviewed Blood, Bones & Butter (our book choice last June). She runs a small business called Flour Girl Desserts and lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

And we also want to say hello to Katie from Baking Unadorned. She enjoys cooking old classics and updating them for readers. She lives in the UK and started her blog when she was inspired by the simplicity of a 1931 version of The Joy of Cooking.

Please visit Dana, Mindy, and Katie and welcome them to our group.
