Dinner's Ready

Welcome to the Hot Plate Writer.

I love food. 

My fondest memories growing up happened in the kitchen. Whether we gathered around the table talking, joking and laughing or preparing a meal, the kitchen and food have played a central role in my life.

This blog is an extension of that love and those feeling of family and community. Hot Plate Writer is dedicated to good food and the role that meals play in modern society. We also want to fight some of the most common misconceptions about cooking at home. One, healthy doesn’t have to be bland. Two, sweet won’t automatically make you fat. Lastly, fresh vegetables and fruits won’t drive you to bankruptcy.  

Good food is only one part of the great meal; the other components are the environment and most importantly sharing. There is a reason culture around the world come together over food for similar reasons. Food plays a key role, from celebrating birth (birthday cake), to remembering a life (wakes). 

Here at the Hot Plate, we believe that a meal should feed your soul as well as your body. Join us as we explore the cultural aspects and history of food, try new and trending restaurants and bring the adventure home with new exciting recipes, technique instructions, and novel cooking methods. 

Whether you are at home pro in the kitchen or a novice, Join us. There’s is always room at our table.
