Brooklyn, NY – The pastry duo behind Brooklyn indie confectioner Whimsy&Spice also do gorgeous food-centric prints under Sweet Fine Day. Their kitchen conversion charts are a good graphic solution over leafing through cookbooks while pots burble away.
Brooklyn, NY – So here it is. It’s time for a new direction for this blog. Although it’s not all that new. For awhile now, fedification has been mostly about Southeast Asian food and culture.
