I work with a fantastic web designer & developer Micki Huizinga; she is brilliant, kind, fun, and so incredibly patient and talented. I also collaborate with local photographers a few times a year. Professional Photography credits go to the fabulous Brad Bahner, Jim Flynn and Mike Spencer – they take the snaps, and I do the food styling and content design. The rest is all me – I create recipes, style and snap more photos, write content, and load it all onto the website.
