I knew how to design websites, so I came up with a name that I hoped would be catchy and started posting about whatever struck my fancy. My blog didn’t start off as food blog, first of all! I was working in a stifling office job and decided I needed a creative project and an outlet for photography. We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Kate about her blog and her approach to health. In fact, of all the bloggers I follow, I’ve made more of Kate’s recipes than anyone else’s and they’ve all been delicious! Especially her no cook fudge – simply a must. Every time she publishes a post it feels like Christmas in my heart and I bookmark the recipe for later use. If you visit Kate’s blog expect to find some of the most creative, whole foods recipes on the web. Obviously Kate holds more creative control, but Cookie is there to catch all the crumbs, which is a noble duty if you ask me. Kate and her adorable pooch, Cookie, never cease to make me smile when I visit their site. Thank you for sharing what you do – it has certainly inspired us to eat healthier – so much so, that I just ordered your book.I’m not quite sure how Kathryne Taylor of Cookie and Kate and I crossed paths, but I can’t express how happy I am that we did. They’re all so flavorful, so vibrant and I know from experience that they’re reliable. I was running through a bunch of bookmarked recipes I had recently found, trying to decide what to cook next when I realized that the majority of that list were YOUR recipes. However, replacing old, tired recipes with healthy new foods and flavors has been instrumental in our journey. Echoing a previous commenter, it’s doubtful that my wife and I will ever abandon all meat. It probably goes without saying that a huge step in the right direction includes tipping the scales significantly towards a plant based diet. My wife and I have recently overhauled our diet in an effort to lose weight and improve our health. Please contact me here or comment below!

I use a Nikon Z6 with a Nikkor Z 50mm lens. Look for the book in your local bookstore or Barnes & Noble. Digital editions of the book are available for purchase and download at iBooks and Amazon. My cookbook, Love Real Food, can be purchased online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, BAM!, IndieBound, and Indigo. My beloved, one-of-a-kind pup is half schipperke and half dachshund/Australian koolie mix. Whether she was named for being one smart cookie, or for looking like cookies and cream, the name suits her well.Īfter five years of referring to Cookie as a “mystery mutt,” I finally caved and ordered a DNA test. She is my eager four-legged assistant, my chief crumb catcher and the best companion a girl could ask for. This blog is all about celebrating good food-real, sustainable food that delights the senses and nourishes the body.Ĭookie is a jaunty spotted mutt who makes friends everywhere she goes. I’m also an avid supporter of the occasional indulgence, and I laugh with friends over drinks as often as possible. I believe in eating whole foods, which are foods that are as close to their source as possible. I choose not to cook meat, so all of the recipes on Cookie and Kate are vegetarian. I believe that cooking should be fun and recipes, flexible. Good food in good company-does it get any better than that? I love photographing food and hope my photos inspire you to step into the kitchen to cook a delicious, healthy meal.Ībove all, I love eating food, especially while in the presence of good company. I devour cookbooks (I even wrote my own). You should know that I’m totally obsessed with food. Now, we live in Kansas City and work on this blog full-time. I started this blog in 2010 and named it after my canine sidekick, Cookie. Either way, I’m a self-taught photographer and cook from Oklahoma. ![]() You can call me Kate, which is one of many nicknames, or Kathryne, which is my full first name.
