Matt and Emily – Nerds with Knives
Hello! We are Matt and Emily Clifton, and we are Nerds with Knives. Well, us and the dog. Well, us and the dog and the ten chickens. Oh, and there are two cats. (We’ll come in again.)
Our mission at Nerds with Knives is to celebrate the joy of food, cooking and eating. We’re excited about cooking and we want you to be, too. We’ve been writing about food, eating and gardening since 2013. We live in Beacon, NY, in the Hudson Valley.
We love seeing your creations on social media – come say hi!
