I came late to my love affair with food. Though I suppose it’s always been there, hidden perhaps beneath more pressing matters, like family and career. Recently I came to a mid-life realization: Food is central to everything I do and care about. It’s how I say “thank you.” “I’m sorry,” and “let’s celebrate.” It’s even how I say “goodbye.”
So, I started this blog to explore the intersection of life, love and food. Of course, there will be recipes too. As my grandmother always said, “food is one of the great pleasures of life. “I hope you enjoy!

Hi Leslie-

The content and the manner in which you write-Is exceptional- reminds me of Ruth Riechl
I am blown away that you went to cooking
Boot camp- very very cool.
