The Austin Gastronomist is a blog about living and eating in Austin, Texas, written by me, Kathryn Hutchison. I started blogging as a way to stay in touch with friends and family when I moved to Austin in 2003. By 2009 I was writing (almost) exclusively about cooking adventurously in the kitchen of my first apartment, so I changed the name of my blog to “The Austin Gastronomist.” These days I’m still cooking in a tiny apartment kitchen, and the focus of the blog has grown beyond original recipes. In addition to documenting my own culinary adventures, I write about local farms and artisan foods, culinary events, and about the people who create Austin’s food culture.
