Here’s a little bit about me: first in a bio and then there is a list of stories through which you can learn about how food has shaped my life and continues to inspire me. Stories about the first recipe I ever mastered, how my first trip to France had me literally swimming in wine (actually my second trip was not so different LOL) and how my dogs receive a very specialized cuisine. These are my memoir in short story form.
