About Me

Gastronaut: 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. I’m exaggerating, of course; but you get the picture. Food and cooking have always been priceless to me, especially when they evoke things, places, people, emotions and sensations, regrets and desires, from my past and present. I’ve always believed, too, that real culinary experiences await and reward the curious, passionate, and open-minded seeker. But, as it so often does, life had other plans for me. 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.
