Emily Kemme
Emily Kemme writes about human nature, illuminating the everyday in a way that highlights its brilliance in her novels, Drinking the Knock Water: A New Age Pilgrimage and In Search of Sushi Tora, and her new anthology, It Starts With a Fish, based on her blog, Feeding the Famished. She is also a recipe creator but doesn’t like to be labeled a foodie (the proof is that she knows where every KFC is on I-80 between Greeley and Iowa). Throughout her writing is a skein of humor that leaves a lasting impression. She is a regular contributor of food and feature stories for NOCO Style Magazine, the Greeley Tribune and MyWindsor Magazine.

Juice it Up

Juice it Up

Justin Ghofrani, who manages the juicing program at Margie’s Java Joint in Greeley, grew up drinking fresh-pressed carrot and beet juice his dad made for breakfast. Maybe that exposed him to the taste of vegetables—he’s very good about eating them—but he can’t resist a tall, cool glass of cold-pressed juice.

Going for Gold

Going for Gold

Raw Oyster Rules

Raw Oyster Rules

If you’ve ever heard the saying, “As tight-lipped as an oyster,” you probably get how oysters have a mysterious reputation. The flavors they hide inside their jagged shells can seem as murky as the waters they live in.
