My Story

Throughout my life, I have been fascinated by food and its central place in our lives. Not only does it sustain us, but it provides opportunities for us to gather with those we love. As a teenager, I spent time exploring the boulangeries and patisseries of Paris, and the word baguette still conjures up the exquisite smell and taste of that warm bread. For the past 20 years I have been writing about celebrations centered on food, reviewing restaurants, and profiling chefs. Having become certified as a Master Gardener, my recent writing has focused on the satisfaction of growing your own herbs, fruits, and vegetables.
