Previously an occupational therapist, roustabout, professor, lifeguard, globetrotter, and hitchhiker, she turns her various experiences and vibrant food memory into unexpected flavors and mush love.

This first of hopefully many cookbooks represents a lifelong passion for all things literary and culinary.
