Hi, I’m Joanne!
I’m so happy you’re here!
I’m an infectious disease doctor in Washington State who’s been cooking and baking for 40+ years! I started the Ugly Duckling Bakery blog in 2021 to share my love for food. My hope is to bring you some of the science and history in recipes, tips and tricks to understand how and why the recipes work, and enough foundation so that you can start to create your own.

Ugly Duckling Bakery
The Ugly Duckling Bakery isn’t a reality. It’s just a dream that gets me through the workday when the funding is uncertain or the colleagues are fussy.
I’m a lifelong baker, but it wasn’t until 2020, when I was stuck at home with my elementary school kiddo, that I started baking and cooking with a purpose. The things I make are not often pretty, but they taste delicious.
