I make short films about food-and the folklore behind it.
Intro Paragraph (poetic + personal):
Each week, I craft a story told in steam, texture and voice, one part history, one part recipe, all of it immersive.
You won’t find trends here. Just tales worth tasting.
✨ Why I Do This
I’m a storyteller, a food lover, and a mother of four who often cooks between soccer games and bedtime stories. But somewhere between the mess and the meal, I found this rhythm—slowing down, making space, telling stories that connect us to something older, wilder, and more beautiful.
I started A Taste and a Tale to bring reverence back to food—to remind myself (and maybe you, too) that even a cracked fig or a loaf of bread can carry a legacy.
“Some stories are meant to be eaten.”
🥣 3. What You’ll Find Here
Here’s What You’ll Find in This Space
Tales: Cinematic, voiceover stories that pull you into a moment in food history—strange, beautiful, or forgotten.
Tastes: One recipe each week, inspired by that tale. Nothing trendy. Nothing loud. Just food with meaning.
Rituals: Slow living, styled moments, and quiet ways to honor what’s on your table.
You don’t have to be a cook. Just curious.
🎨 Visual Suggestions:
Use soft icons or hand-drawn visuals to match each item
Add photos as subtle backgrounds behind each word if you want texture

Who’s Behind the Table
I’m Mattie—a writer, photographer, former interior design student, and deeply curious human. I live in Northern Utah with my husband and four kids, where I balance story-chasing with real-life dinner messes.
I created A Taste and a Tale as an invitation to slow down, feel something, and maybe even remember something you didn’t know you forgot.
I believe beauty is a form of rebellion. So is stillness.
🎨 Visual Suggestions:
