I was born and raised in a cooperative farm community in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California, and my life has always centered on the production, preparation and community of food. Though I once operated my own custom order bakery business, I'm a home cook and baker with an interest in sustainability and the ethics of eating. And, ironically, sugar.
At my day job I manage communications and training. Along the way I've worked at Alice Medrich's famed chocolate pastry shop, Cocolat; as a buyer for Whole Foods Market; and as an on-air correspondent for CNN Money's The Business of Green, where I had the privilege of interviewing former President Jimmy Carter, the cast and crew of Grey's Anatomy and the head of environmental initiatives at Warner Bros. I also appeared on the Food Network's Emeril Live! show when my Double Chocolate Buzz Buzz Cookies were named a winner of "Emeril's Chocolate Challenge."
I live in Southern California with my husband and two Weimaraners. This blog is where I share my adventures in cooking, baking and eating, as well as stories, things I like and too many photos of my dogs.
