Tales






Every story I’ve told. Every taste I’ve shared

This is where memory, myth, and recipes live together.
Scroll slow. Something will call to you.

🎨 Visual Suggestion:

  • Top section with a narrow banner image (e.g., old book pages, candlelight, rustic food table)
  • Or: soft beige background with no image—just text

📚 Step 3: Add Your Post Feed Block

Go to the block editor and insert:

  • Latest Posts block
    • Style: grid or masonry
    • Columns: 2 (mobile responsive)
    • Show: featured image, post title, excerpt
    • Remove: metadata (date/author) if you want minimalism
    • Optional: show category name above the title if you’ll use tags like “Tale”, “Recipe”, or “Ritual”

🎨 Styling Suggestions:

  • Featured images should match your brand: moody, cinematic, food-forward
  • Use serif typeface for titles (like Playfair or Libre Baskerville)
  • Excerpts should be short—either first paragraph or a poetic sentence

🔎 Step 4: Add a Filter or Search Bar (Optional)

If you’ll eventually have dozens of posts, add:

  • Search bar at the top or sidebar
  • Or Categories block with:
    • Tale (story-focused)
    • Taste (recipe-focused)
    • Ritual (lifestyle/mood)
    • Behind the Scenes (Maker’s Table)

🎨 Tip: Use soft divider lines and gentle category tags. Keep it elegant.


💌 Step 5: Add a Subscribe Block at the Bottom (Optional)

End the page with a soft call-to-action like:
