In 2006, Babette launched the Web’s first food social network BakeSpace.com which has grown to become a diversified online media, app-based publishing and conference production company for people passionate cooking and the culinary lifestyle. In 2010, she founded TECHmunch, the first food blogger conference that travels to you. Check the home page to see info on where we’re heading next. In 2012, Babette decided it was about time to democratize cookbook publishing. So she created Cookbook Cafe, the first DIY digital cookbook publisher that will turn your recipes into a web-based ebook and iPad app for free! Then you can sell the cookbook in our storefront. If you’d like to connect with her, you can find her on BakeSpace.com, her facebook page or on twitter.Follow @bakespace |

 Douglas E. Welch

Douglas writes 5 blogs covering everything from food to gardening to New Media to technology. In his Internet travels he is constantly turning up great content on all of these topics and sharing it with his readers. Douglas has long produced audio and video podcasts on all of these topics as well.As far as food is concerned, Douglas learned to cook at an early age out of necessity. His big, active family (3 sisters and 1 brother) didn’t always have time to sit down together for dinner. Also, Douglas is a notorious “fussy eater” which has led to his embracing food and cooking even more deeply out of sheer self-preservation. He believes one way to insure you will like food is to make it yourself.Douglas is (somewhat) famous among his friends for his Annual Christmas Cookie Party — now in its 20th year — where he makes over 100 dozen cookies, cakes and candies for his all-day open house. His “Secret” Christmas Chili has made its way into many friends recipe boxes over the year, too.All of Douglas’ blogs and podcasts are available at http://DouglasEWelch.com Follow @douglaswelch |
