About Vintage Mixer

TheVintageMixer.com is a blog I write mainly about recipes I'm experimenting with and restaurant adventures around our city. As I run the blog, and social media outlets, my partner Heidi, runs the business side of things. The recipes I write about are primarily seasonal, many of which have ingredients straight from our local farmers market. We do take a break from fresh and seasonal food every Mondays to write about something indulgent like this Chocolate Pumpkin Pie, or this Mint Chocolate Pudding.

Lucky for me I have lots of friends who love to eat as well as a husband with a sweet tooth. My husband, Josh, is a singer-songwriter whom you can also find online through twitter, itunes, and his blog. A passion of ours is also to show folks in and outside of Utah the great things about Salt Lake City: good restaurants, great music, fun day trips etc.

Beyond just food, our goal of the The Vintage Mixer is to create community around chopping blocks and dinner tables. We host 'Vintage Mixers', like this wine tasting, and this raw foods class. Our events are not merely educational, though we hope you'll learn a thing or too, but the goal is that people would engage and enjoy each other. Relationships are the most important part of my life and I can't imagine anything better than enjoying the people around me while sharing a delicious meal.

I teach ESL to students from all over the globe and I've traveled to many foreign destinations. What I have discovered is that people are the same here as well as on the other side of the globe. Many have showed me that joy can be found in the simplest of things. My desire is to lead a simple life and bring joy to the lives of others through food and friendship. We hope you'll stop by the blog for a recipe or restaurant review or even better let's meet in person as you come to one of our Vintage Mixers.

"The social interaction that surrounds a meal feeds the soul; we tell tales and seek advice, we laugh and cry, we learn and teach, and sometimes we even fall in love around chopping blocks and dinner tables." - Good Food To Share, by Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan

My comforts: boxed brownies, frozen pizza, peanut butter M&Ms, homemade mac n' cheese, and ice cream with cereal.
My more finer delights: profiteroles, gnocchi, risotto, cream brulee, steal cut oats, and Greek food.
