I considered culinary school after undergrad, but I wasn’t keen on endless hours toiling in such a male-dominated world.

So I became a lawyer instead. Yeah—WT actual F was I thinking?!

It’s all worked out, though—my law practice supports my food and wine habits, and I get to cook for fun, rather than my keep.

I have travelled the world on my stomach, and I never tire of learning new foods. I do have limits—I am squeamish about certain body parts, I don’t do bugs or snakes, and I abhor liquorice. Otherwise, I am an unabashed food snob.

I hope you’ll enjoy sharing these experiences with us! Chez Nous, dinner parties start early with everyone pitching in, and they end late after hours of discourse.

There’s a basket by the front door for your cell phone!
