Her photos are beautiful, her humour shines through her writing and she seems thoroughly humble. PW also inspires me because she is the opposite of a food snob and appreciates almost all food like I do (bananas for her, licorice and ginger for me).
I initially visited her blog via Tastespotting when I saw a picture of her Bacon Appetizers and I was hooked. Obsessed with making her recipe, I bullied Jess into making them together (I couldn't find Club crackers in Vancouver - had to take advantage of being in the States) for a family BBQ. This is the actual 2008 picture taken in the also small Bronx kitchen.
From PW I've also learned
- about The Cake Pan Lady
- how not to fear baking with yeast (dynamite Cinnamon Rolls and No-knead dinner rolls? Totally baked.)
- more facts about calf nuts I ever thought I’d learn
Thanks for the inspiration PW!
PS You may notice that I enjoy all her content but have only ever made a comment when she’s doing a KitchenAid stand mixer giveaway. Says a lot about me, non? Creeper alert.
PPS She's also the reason I decided to share my full name online. Maybe one day I'll share my last name too. Still find it scary.
