Baker and food writer Pete Souvall talked to us about how he challenges himself with finding new sweets to make for Coffee Noir and Central Ninth — and how he's transformed his own sometimes thorny relationship to food.

, where he writes about significant food experiences he has in the Salt Lake Valley, both high-end and earthy.

“I’ve been through drug treatment, alcohol treatment, I’ve detoxed, I’ve been to the hospital for eating disorders. Laughter is the only thing that can really get you through. All of the people you meet [there] are some of the funniest people in the world, because they know how to laugh at the darkness.”

He said that was another reason he had to get out of stand-up. “Humor was the way I grappled with the bullying,” he said. “And how I dealt with issues with my family. I always broke the silence with laughs. That’s how I was able to defuse situations. That’s why I thought, ‘OK, I think I can be good at this.’”“I’m more self-actualized and comfortable with myself because of that,” he said.
