About Kate McDermott’s Newsletter
WHO:
I am a story teller, musician, culinary teacher, and late blooming published author who seems to have a better track record with dogs than wuzbands. I have written three best selling and critically acclaimed cookbooks with personal narrative essays; James Beard Nominated Art of the Pie: A Practical Guide to Crusts, Fillings and Life (2016), Home Cooking with Kate McDermott (2018), and Pie Camp: The Skills You Need to Make Any Pie You Want (2020). I teach in person and virtual baking workshops, and coach and mentor writers, teachers, and Substack newbies.
WHAT:
I write of thoughts on my walks with my beloved German Shepherd Gretapie (GP for short), rides on Arrow my ebike, my garden, apple orchard and my 12 chickens, books I’m reading, music I’m listening to, recipes to cook and bake, and thoughts about aging gracefully. I try to keep my newsletter issues shortish for a quick break in your day.
WHEN:
I post once a week…and sometimes twice.
WHERE:
As a subscriber, my newsletter posts will pop right into your email Inbox and you will also find a full archive of past newsletters online.
WHY:
As an elder-crone-wise woman, or whatever you want to call one who has stopped caring about wrinkles and silver hair, I feel it is important to pass on as much as I can about what I have learned.
We are becoming quite a lovely community through this little newsletter and I love when you leave comments for me! So I invite you to join me on this journey because the hokey-pokey just might be what’s it’s all about.
