Love and food are what brought Lorna Yee from Vancouver to Seattle, and that combination is exactly what she’s working on now.
She came for architect Henry H. Lo, now her husband — but they met on eGullet, where fellow food-lovers followed along as the posters became a couple and ate and cooked their way through the city. Yee, who I once referred to as “a Renaissance food geek,” is a regular in Seattle Magazine these days, and recently set up a blog, The Cookbook Chronicles, to set down the process of writing her first cookbook.
The book, to be published by Sasquatch next year, is meant as a cookbook for newlyweds. She’s collaborating on it with Seattle Bride editor Ali Basye, who was wowed when the magazine did an article on the spectacular feast of Yee and Lo’s wedding. No actual recipes (I guess that’s what the book is for), but enough discussion of what she’s testing or writing to make me hungry, even though I’ve been married many happy years past newlywed.
