Paul also contributes as an editor to Just Baking, and his own blog, Cookies, Et Cetera. Contrary to what these titles might imply, Paul's culinary talent does extend far beyond the oven. Nonetheless, his muffin, cookie, and candy recipes are so popular, that he is only recently getting the chance to break out of dessert mode.  Like many, Paul is familiar with lactose intolerance, and he therefore never shies away from “free-from” goodies.

“Cooking was a big part of my life growing up in small town Wisconsin. Sunday dinners at my grandparents, I can still taste the fresh baked rolls and kuchen. Baking fruitcakes for my church men’s club yearly fundraiser with my dad. My summer jobs were all cooking related. Early morning baker, short order cook, catering assistant, anything they let me do, I tried. The glamorous life of computer programming called me away from pursuing a career as a chef, but the love of cooking and baking has never waned.”
