About Gabrielle Myers
Thank you for visiting my Amazon Author Page!
I am a writer, teacher, editor, and chef living in the Sacramento Valley of California.
My memoir, Hive-Mind, details my time of transformation and awakening on an organic farm. When one is brought close to clover leaves, crabgrass roots, okra's itchy hairs, 10,002 bees buzzing, and the friendship and loss of an amazing individual, one permanently changes and the past rearranges itself. Please explore the links to and about my memoir, which is available for purchase on Amazon.
My poetry manuscripts have been top finalists for the Catamaran West Coast Poetry Prize (2018 & 2020) and the 42 Mile Press Poetry Award (2014). My poetry has been published in The Adirondack Review, San Francisco Public Press, Fourteen Hills, Evergreen Review, pacificREVIEW, Connecticut River Review, and Catamaran, among other places, and is forthcoming in Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review. I currently am in the process of looking for a publisher for my two poetry manuscripts as well as a cookbook on seasonal grilling.
Please enjoy exploring links to my memoir, published poems, essays, interviews, YouTube cooking channel, and seasonal recipe blog through my website at www.gabriellemyers.com.
Juan Felipe Herrera writes the following about my poetry: "Gabrielle Myers does not shy away from a kind of post-mod naturalism, where we can taste things, see things, and even - I dare say - touch their "opalescent crisp skin." Although world-stuff and social-stuff shifts and is disassembled in the scenic constructions of her poetics, she manages a lush 21st century personal pointillism. Most lovely, most alluring." (California Writers Exchange contest, Poets and Writers, 2009)
For over 14 years, I worked as a cook and chef for top San Francisco Bay Area restaurants and catering companies. I have taught English and writing at UC Davis, Saint Mary's College of California, Diablo Valley College, Sacramento City College, Yuba College, and Las Positas College. I have led writing workshops for the Pacific Writing Conference at the University of the Pacific, Word Spring in Chico, and San Joaquin Valley Writers, and participated in a panel at the Great Valley Bookfest. I am currently a tenured professor of English at San Joaquin Delta College.

The strawberry, often assigned the role of a dessert star or fruit bowl favorite, deserves more attention in the main entrée section as a secret weapon in sauces. The acidic and sweet dance of fruit in a savory dish creates a dynamic and complex flavor scale.

There are just a few ingredients that singly sing as strongly to winter’s bounty as blood oranges and fennel. When I was a little girl growing up on the East Coast, when the freezing rain would not turn into snow and the cloudy light would not give into sun, I would dream of fleeing this darkness to a land where at least humans could cull food from the earth no matter the time of year. In my early 20’s I was lucky enough to save enough money to make m11 months ago Read more -

This recipe calls on the earlier blog recipe for Chive and Sage Cornbread, and dresses it up into a savory meal. You can serve this dish for brunch, lunch or dinner, it is delicious warm or cold, and nothing beats it flexibility. While the ingredients here work so well together, you can easily play with this base recipe to express your seasonally creative side.

The soft crumb and tender moisture of cornbread is unmatched by any other bread. For winter festivities this bread can easily be made into savory stuffing, served as a side to an entrée, or sliced in half lengthwise for a post-celebratory sandwich of leftovers. This recipe elevates the usual cornbread by adding honey and freshly harvested herbs, which infuses the bread with a sweet floral aroma and taste.

The great benefit and sometimes soul gripping pain of the gluten and dairy free diet often revolves around the dessert dilemma. In most restaurants and cafes, the only options rest in fluffy flour-based and tongue coating dairy rooted sweets. If lucky enough, those with these food allergies might encounter fruit-focused sorbets or a cup of berries (usually not seasonal at all and pretty tasteless). In many ways, for all of the exploration and fusion1 year ago Read more -

Today I went to the farmers’ market, tempted by the end of summer tomatoes, peppers, squash, berries, and grapes that hit northern California in abundance in early October. While a few vendors sold baskets of strawberries, this one organic farm had the small, vine-ripened strawberries at the peak of ripeness.

One of my favorite summertime experiences is how, over the course of a few months, green, firm plum globes swell into dark purple fruits.

In summer’s height, you can walk into a garden and the abundance will hit your fingers as they strike tomato, pepper, eggplant, squash, fig, and basil. The challenge built into summer cooking is what to cook tonight and what to put off cooking until tomorrow. Beans and cherry tomatoes ripened on the vine naturally grow alongside basil leaves. By adding in preserved lemons you bring a bright, briny unami kick to the summer flavors.

Hive-Mind
Sep 28, 2015
$9.99
With the lyrical precision of Annie Dillard and the exquisite food writing of M.F.K. Fisher, Gabrielle Myers takes us on a Northern California idyll - an internship at the Tip Top Farm and Produce in Vacaville. Here, the beauty of the land - light streaming through fig branches, carnelian tomatoes exploding in front of rows of sweet peas - is tended by the mysterious frenetic Farmer and her companion, Baker. Together with their intern Gabrielle, the trio tends a landscape full with sustenance and life. Their days are filled with back-breaking farm labor and their nights are alive with the freshest, most creative meals imaginable. At night, Gabi lays in her yurt pondering her mother's suicide attempt, working on stories to tell herself to make it alright, while just up the hill another mind, busy as a hive, fights a storm of loss and sorrow that threatens to shatter Eden. And what of these stories we tell ourselves? Myers asks. Sometimes, they can't be rewritten.
