Comfort food and baking inspiration, through recipes, photography, and story.
My name is Nancy Mock, and I'm a food writer, food photographer, recipe developer, and recipe devourer! I grew up in Southern Vermont and live in the Burlington area.
Eagerly tasting all the comfort food and baked goodies that come out of my kitchen is my family: my adventurous husband and our grown-up kids whenever they're home for a visit.
We love to explore tasty eats all around us, whether in town, around New England, or any far-flung spots we find ourselves in!
My food and recipes
One thing that I hear repeatedly from friends and readers is that complicated cooking methods and hard-to-find ingredients can be intimidating. And that's a shame because what we really want from the food we create is to enjoy it with others, have fun, and make wonderful memories.
So I develop fun and welcoming recipes for indulgent comfort foods and baked treats inspired by my Vermont roots and Irish heritage. They come together without complex steps or unusual ingredients—that way people can create a delicious table and have time to make memories with those around it.
You'll find ideas for snacks, meals, desserts, and drinks that are full of flavor, casual, and family-friendly.

The name!
"You better cut that pizza into four pieces, I'm not hungry enough to eat six!" —Yogi Berra
Hungry Enough To Eat Six began as an old-school blog, where I could connect with other like-minded folks to geek out about all things food.
When I found that Yogi Berra pizza joke, I knew that "Hungry Enough To Eat Six" was the perfect name for my website. It's basically how I feel all the time: hungry—for new recipes, new flavor combinations, and to learn new techniques!

In my downtime
When I get out of the kitchen for a spell, I love watching things funny and foodie: The Office, The Bear, Derry Girls, Moone Boy, Doctor Who, Rifftrax, MST3K, Ghosts, Psych, and Schitt's Creek.
Marathon sessions of Marvel everything are frequent here. Captain America is my fave, with Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man close behind! WandaVision, She-Hulk, Loki, and Ms. Marvel are the latest faves.
My reading is almost always food: cookbooks, ponderings, articles, and memoirs. Esteban Castillo, Laurie Colwin, Samin Nosrat, Tamar Adler, and Darina Allen are recent reads. I also reread too often Agatha Christie's novels, Julia Child's My Life In France, and E. Annie Proulx's The Shipping News.
