Welcome to my website! I’m so glad you’ve discovered it, and hope you will take the time to explore.
I love food and I love to travel, so I write articles about both, as well as for my own blog, A Moveable Feast. Please check them out.
As much as I love to putter in the kitchen, preparing everything from appetizers to desserts — and then eating them — I also have a particular obsession with learning about food history. My ongoing quest is finding out how foods traveled from their places of origin to dinner plates around the globe. In fact, I am working on a book that does just that. This book will include recipes from all over the world, along with poetry, crafts, folklore, and even crime stories. Yes indeed, mushrooms were once involved with a smuggling caper! Peanut brittle once foiled a robbery!
Finally, one of my favorite activities is to forage for wild foods. If you happen to be nearby, please join me in picking wild grape leaves for dolmades, or sumac, chicory, or … And sometimes I even run little workshops in which we stuff those grape leaves, or make goat cheese, or …
I look forward to hearing from you!
