Experience

Prior to writing for Tasting Table, Emily has turned her childhood hobby of baking into a way of life. She enjoys her part-time job at a local bakery in Portland, Oregon, and bakes as often as she can purely for fun. Though she's most passionate about sourdough bread, she can be found constantly baking a variety of breads and loves hosting brunch with homemade bagels or tea time with homemade soft pretzels. Emily is also particularly passionate about experimenting with unique ways of flavoring and coloring sourdough loaves. Her current favorite bakes are her blue butterfly pea flower loaves and her chocolate red velvet loaves.
