Hi! I’m Julie, your host and narrator of Flash Fiction Kitchen. As a writer with notorious procrastibaking tendencies, I started FFK as a way to integrate food and fiction and delve further into the imaginary world. When I’m not writing, cooking, or pulling my hair out over food photos, I can be found hopping around Asia-Pacific searching for ancestral dishes and doing a bit of human rights work, or back in DC enjoying the odd matcha or golden latte. Happy reading, chef-ing, & eating, and thanks for stopping by!
Yes, I write with a quill. Who doesn’t?
Stories
Foodfiction features flash fiction stories and poems accompanied by recipes, photos, and occasional illustrations. No particular theme, relatively kid-friendly, and anything in the fantasy-dragons-princess-animals-real life-mythical creatures realm is fair game.
Recipes
All of my recipes are paleo, and most are also autoimmune-protocol (AIP) compliant and/or modifiable. About five years ago, I experienced a weird onset of food allergies, and paleo/AIP have since helped me stave off the onset of full-blown autoimmunity. (More about my health journey here.) The focus of the blog is not alternative diets, but I’m grateful to the paleo community and hope my stories and recipes can be enjoyed by all, especially those struggling with food restrictions. I’ve found the hardest recipes to find and adapt (particularly for AIP) are savory snacks and baked goods, so I concentrate mostly on those. The recipes are not meant to be super detailed or complicated, but to provide a basic blueprint while emphasizing taste, affordability, and overall appeal.
