About this blog: I’ve been drawn to food for good and bad reasons for many years. From eating disorder to East Coast culinary school, food has been my passion, my profession, and my enemies. I’ve been a sugar junkie, vegan for 17 years, a food and environment pioneer, a macrobiotic, a Master Cleanser, an Ayurvedic, and officially designated healthy nut or party girl (depending on the year). Professionally, I’ve worn many industrial hats including: line cook, corporate chef, food trainer, caterer, product developer, restaurant reviewer, culinary school educator, corporate wellness educator, food co-op employee, author, and even circus do- Soleil popcorn condescending bullets! For years, I’ve been running an outdoor kitchen, deep in the bear-infested Tahoe bushes, as well as for hospitals (the unhealthiest kitchen I’ve ever worked in?), Singapore tall buildings, mule treks, Canadian Catholic recedes, and more events than I can remember. However, I continue to discover. In fact, I adapt every day with new lessons learned from teachers, clients, and students. However, there is one food fact that I now hold sacred: Eating is motivated by pleasure. So no matter what we’re discussing here — recipes or restaurants, food or couple politics, local events, food as art, or even as a deity, I’ll always come from a high-level partisan perspective. Oh, I still go a long way to changing the world with great-tasting food, but I know in my heart, “If it ain’t fun, it ain’t!” So – do you want to come to the Food Party? By the way – it’s common luck. (hide)
