Because really I'm a writer first.\u201d - Jen Hatmaker \u201cI used all these years of just writing helter skelter on social media as a template. It isn't one by the way, that is not industry standard. But that's the way that I had figured out food writing, which was just outside of the typical structure.\u201d - Jen Hatmaker \u201cWe're all laughing as we're cooking because intermittently there's comedy even in the recipe itself.\u201d - Denise Gruzensky \u201cI think when it comes to cooking, the sum is greater than its parts. Yes, it's just an onion and it's garlic and it's a sub sandwich, but something about it, like the process of it, the possibility of it, the nourishment of it and then the appreciation of it, it's like, Well, maybe I'll learn to paint, maybe I'll write a book. So, I hope that it inspires a little bit of creativity in everybody.\u201d - Jen Hatmaker \u201cI just had so much to learn and I was willing to learn anything and try anything. I feel like the Food Network, I joke about that all the time, that's really where I learned how to cook. I just watched those shows and I watched how they chopped things and I learned technique and I figured out they would teach me about flavors that went together and how to fix something that tasted flat. Just all these things that cooks know, but I did not.\u201d - Jen Hatmaker \u201cI'm on the other side of this just complete seed change in my life. I've learned a lot. I have something new to say. I have something new that I've experienced and learned and I'm not quite ready to write it, but I can see its edges starting to take a little shape.\u201d - Jen Hatmaker   Guest\u2019s LinksDenise\u2019s website Denise\u2019s Instagram Denise\u2019s Facebook Denise\u2019s Twitter   Books & Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeMike Burbiglia Of Mess & Moxie Food Network H-E-B Southern Living  Real Simple  Food and Wine Magazine  Feed These People    Connect with Jen!Jen\u2019s website Jen\u2019s Instagram Jen\u2019s Twitter Jen\u2019s Facebook Jen\u2019s YouTube   ","author_name":"For The Love With Jen Hatmaker Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/96163\/site","html":"
