Food has always ‘spoken’ to me… Y’know, the way a psychic touches a wedding ring or a strand of hair, and the owner’s life flashes before her eyes.

Now, however, after nearly 50 years of turning a deaf ear to this ‘calling’, I’ve decided to make the discovery—and rediscovery—of exceptional foods, personalities, and culinary traditions my life, and joy. It’s an adventure I hope you’ll share with me.
