Ashley Blom is a native New England millennial who is currently cooking and eating her way through Austin, Texas. She’s been writing since the day she learned to hold a pen. She has written for Paste Food, FamilyFun Magazine, The Emerson Review, Honest Cooking, The Brattleboro Reformer, and a handful of Buzzfeed Community lists, as well as had recipes featured on the site.
Ashley lives with her fiancé, Cory, their amazing dog, Lily, and two snuggly cats named Finn and Marceline. She cooks as much as she can for her little family on her student-loan-endebted budget. The results are what you see on her blog, which she has been penning in some form since graduating Emerson College in 2010.
For adventurous foodies everywhere, HOW TO EAT A LOBSTER is the perfect handbook for handling every tricky dining situation you can imagine (and a few you can’t) with grace, style, and minimal splatter. With easy-to-follow instructions and helpful illustrations, you’ll learn the answers to 50 food-related questions you’ve been afraid to ask. (What do you do when crawfish arrive? Twist and snap off the head. Peel the tail and pull out the meat. Then suck the juices from the head. Seriously: you’re supposed to!)
