My name is Autumn. I live in Queens, NY. I am a writer, eater, podcaster, and photographer. Some of the places you may have seen me or my food-related work are:
- New York Times

Email me at autumnmakes [at] gmail [dot] com to chat about how we might work together on your next project or event.
More about me: I love to cook (anything!), but have a sweet tooth something fierce. Black sheep ingredients get me going (pomegranate molasses? goat ricotta?!). I wait all week to go food shopping and farmer’s markets are some of my favorite places on earth. I like them for all the reasons you’ve probably heard a hundred times, but growing vegetables runs in my family so I like to support the folks that do it.
I am also a poet and if you have known many poets, you know that we tend to get extra-psyched about our food. The ritual parts of both poetry and cooking draw me in—what I write is a big part of what I cook and what I cook figures into what I write. I have a love poem about shrimp, for god’s sake. In Fall 2011, I started Alphabet Soup, a bi-weekly podcast about food & words. Alphabet Soup is conversations about the intersection of food and language. Give it a listen!
Finally—I wasn’t going to tell you—but this blog is gluten-free. See, I have this super-fun autoimmune disease, Celiac Disease, so I can’t eat any gluten. Not even a little. I know what you’re thinking and you’re wrong—I eat well. No substitutions or good-enoughs here, just damn fine food that happens to be gluten-free.
Please be in touch!

Lovely feel about your blog Autumn – specially like the hand-drawn header and icons. Lots of pomegranate molasses where I live
Love your blog! I’m so glad that I found it!! I am celiac and I love that you called it a superfun autoimmune disease, lol. I just started blogging recently, and am so happy that there are other GF blogs to read. Us celiacs have to stick together and share recipes and product finds!
looking forward to reading more!!
I’m enjoying your blog and gluten-free recipes. Although I do not have your super fun autoimmune disease I enjoy trying alternative types of recipes that use wonderful products like almond flour and cashews that become creamy.
You’ve also got a zany sense of humor that is somewhat deprecating but what is life if we can’t make fun of ourselves and move on.
Thanks for the great recipes. I’ve been making a grocery list….thanks, too, for the list of other food blogs.
Hike on!
