ME.
I'm a food+travel blogger, self-taught baker and cook, dessert table designer, aspiring photographer, mommy, wife, and worker bee. Not necessarily in that order. My family shares a certain wanderlust, and as a result, I was born overseas and moved to the Greek Islands when I was less than one week old. I have lived in at least ten different cities in four countries. I currently make my home in Northern California, where I live with my husband, three kids, and a tiny dog.

There was a time when I spoke fluent French and Italian; now I just dabble. My brushes with fame have included blending fruit smoothies for Robin Williamsduring a birthday party at his ranch in Napa, receiving a $100 tip for serving one drink to Al Jarreau, sitting next to Johnny Cash at a San Francisco sushi bar, and a fleeting encounter with Audrey Hepburn at I.Magnin. In college, I turned down an offer to sing back-up for a would-be country singer during his European tour. (I always wonder what would have happened if I had agreed.) My hair color is unpredictable platinum blonde now 100% natural. All of this makes me dubiously qualified to write a food/travel/life blog... I think.

THE BLOG.
This blog is a way of sharing little tastes of my life, my kitchen, my photography and my travels. I love to bake, cook, write, travel, make pictures, sing, and play with my food. This blog is very personal to me, and when you visit my site, it's almost as if you have been invited into my home. So be kind. Thanks for stopping by!

DESSERT TABLES

Once upon a time, I created a business styling dessert tables for special events. You can check it out here, if you like.
