Where are you based?

Food Content & Recipes

What kind of recipes do you publish?

Recipes on See Sip Taste Hear are:

Ingredient-driven
Seasonal
Comfort-leaning
Designed for real kitchens, not studio sets

Expect soups, sauces, snacks, weeknight wins, and recipes that punch above their ingredient count. If a recipe is here, it’s been cooked, eaten, and probably adjusted mid-stream.

Are the recipes beginner friendly?

Yes — but not dumbed down.

Recipes are written for people who:

Cook at home
Like flavor
Don’t need their hand held through boiling water

If something matters, it’s explained. If it doesn’t, it’s skipped.

Do you focus on Boulder or Colorado food?

Absolutely. Boulder and Colorado are a core part of the blog’s DNA.

You’ll find:

Boulder restaurant visits
Denver food hunts
Colorado seasonal food trends
Mountain town eating
Travel snacks worth stopping for on I-70

Local context matters here — altitude, seasonality, and access all shape how and what we cook and eat.

Travel & Food Hunts

What is a “food hunt”?

A food hunt is a purposeful eating mission — tacos, soup, breakfast sandwiches, bakeries, street food, snacks — judged honestly and without influencer fluff.

No free meals required. No fake hype. Just “would I go back and would I pay for it again?”

Do you only cover luxury travel?

No. In fact, rarely.

See Sip Taste Hear focuses on:

Real travel
Budget-aware choices
Food-first itineraries
Snacks over status

Sometimes that’s a great restaurant. Sometimes it’s a gas station burrito that hits at exactly the right moment.

Do you write about travel deals and hacks?

Yes — selectively.

When deals actually matter (flights, passes, timing, strategy), they’re covered honestly, including who they’re not for. If something is annoying, restrictive, or overhyped, it’s said out loud.

Local Boulder & Colorado Focus

Do you cover Boulder restaurants specifically?

Yes. Boulder is home base, so local coverage includes:

Boulder restaurants
Cafés
Bakeries
Snack spots
Food trends tied to the Front Range

Coverage is organic — places are written about because they’re interesting, not because someone asked nicely.

Do you work with Boulder or Colorado brands?

Yes. The blog and its creator work with:

Boulder-based food brands
Colorado cannabis and wellness brands
Travel and tourism partners
Restaurants and hospitality groups

Local partnerships are prioritized when they align with the voice and values of the site.

Practical Stuff (Because Google Loves This)

How often do you publish new content?

There’s no rigid schedule, but content is published consistently — with bursts during seasonal moments, travel periods, and food trends.

Quality beats cadence every time.

Can I share or republish your content?

Short excerpts with proper credit and a link are generally fine.

Full reposts, scraped recipes, or republishing without permission are not. If you want to use something properly, ask first.

How can I contact you?

The best way to get in touch is through the Contact or Work With Me page.

If it’s about food, travel, Boulder, or collaboration — you’re in the right place.
