I have lived all over the world, and I now live in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

During my travels, I have met people from every walk of life and from a wide variety of cultures. Learning about people and their lives has always been fascinating to me. That fascination has allowed me to make many friends that I treasure deeply, even though I do not see them often.
​
Some of the most important relationships in my life were borne out of a mutual love of food. Cooking, like so many other creative pursuits, brings people together and allows them to connect. When we eat together with others, we end up sharing of ourselves, finding kinship, and ultimately building community. It just happens! 
​
I try to find magic in life’s simple pleasures. For me, the true essence of good food lies in simplicity — quality ingredients, the joy of creating, being surrounded by friends, and eating what you love.
