About

I’m a chef, a cook, a teacher, a mother, a biker, a tentative photographer, and a hopeful writer.

Food is a narrative.  Whether you love cooking or dread it, if you cook from recipes or from memory, how we feed ourselves tells a story.  While I’m a pastry chef by day, I cook at home for one every night, save for when I have guests, which is as often as possible. Here are some of my stories.  While many have a teacherly bent, I try to write for people who love to read as much as they love to eat.  And a good writer is there to hold your hand. I hope to be that for you. Because I believe everyone can cook. And every plate holds a story. Here is how it all began . . .
