It is one thing to paint a picture with words and invite an audience to look at what you've created. It is another thing entirely to create a world and then invite an audience to immerse within it and make it their own.

This is what Katie does.

She draws upon her own memories, recreates them with such joyous attention to detail, that you enter the kitchen with her and smell the cooking.
