Hello! We are Matt and Emily Clifton, and we are Nerds with Knives. Well, us and the dogs. Well, us and the dogs and the three chickens. Oh, and there are two cats. Possibly a raccoon. Look, we’ll start again.
Hello! We are Emily and Matt plus various animals. Our mission at Nerds with Knives is to celebrate the joy of food, cooking and eating. We’re enthusiastic home cooks, not professional chefs, but we’re always 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 in the Hudson Valley of New York.
