Hi, I'm Emily.

Welcome to Tall Girl Short Bread!

What started as a love of baking has grown into a passion for creating recipes that bring people to the table. Whether it's a fun weeknight dinner, an over-the-top dessert, a seasonal cocktail, or a menu for your next gathering, I believe food is one of the best ways to build community and celebrate everyday moments.

Based in Seattle, you'll find plenty of Pacific Northwest inspiration here - from farmers market finds and seasonal ingredients to local restaurants and coffee shops that influence the way I cook and host. And, of course, you’ll see a lot of recipes influenced by my Italian heritage and love of learning about other cultural cuisines.

When I'm not in the kitchen, you'll probably find me meandering around Seattle with my dog and Tim (my cat is happy to stay home and nap in the sun), teaching yoga, running with friends, planning my next themed dinner party, or dreaming up my next recipe.

Around here, you'll discover recipes that are approachable, fresh, and meant to be shared. You'll also find hosting ideas, entertaining tips, drink recipes, and a little inspiration for slowing down, gathering often, and making the most of every season.

So pull up a chair, pour yourself something sippable, and stay awhile.

I'm so glad you're here.
