Welcome
to the website of writer, editor, and cookbook author, Portia Little.
For more than twenty-five years, Portia has been a freelance contributor
to magazines, newspapers, and newsletters, covering a wide range of topics
such as food and cooking, business profiles, pets, travel, restaurant
reviews, humor, and books. She has also worked as an editor and proofreader
for the marketing departments of major financial institutions as well
as colleges and universities. Soon after moving to Rhode Island, she began
researching and writing copy for local tourist brochures. A puzzle hobbyist,
she has produced crossword puzzles that have been published.
A few years ago Portia began creating theme gift cookbooks featuring easy
recipes and quotations. She founded Panntree Press, an independent publishing
company, to publish them, and now has seven titles in the series. The
cookbook themes include romance, vegetarian, dessert, New England, Finger
Lakes, bread pudding, and humor (limericks). Cooking with Coffee, her
latest book, was published in 2012.
When she's not writing, Portia escapes to the kitchen to concoct brilliant
yeast breads, superb bread puddings, amazing mushroom soups, and scintillating
chocolate sweets.
From
morning till night, sounds drift from the kitchen, most of them familiar
and comforting
On days when warmth is the most important need of
the human heart, the kitchen is the place you can find it; it dries
the wet sock, it cools the hot little brain.
(E.
B. White)
