Living well really is the best revenge. Eat adventurously, for health and pleasure. Keep expanding your mind and your palate, not your waistline. Cover new ground, both real and metaphorical. Stay close to nature and explore its ability to nourish and heal. Join me in discovering truly shameless indulgence—at the table, in the garden, at home or on the road.

I’m a writer, a reader, a cook, an eater, a novice gardener and a longtime nature-lover, born and raised in Santa Cruz, California. After many years in Manhattan (with a brief hiatus in L.A.), I’ve made the move to live full-time (with husband G and feline Titi) in a 1935 cedar-shingle cottage in Sullivan County, upstate near the Delaware River.
