about me

I live in Chattanooga with my daughter. I work at a used bookstore, and I love to read pretty much everything, especially cookbooks. Some of my favorite cookbooks are those of Nigel Slater, Barbara Kafka, Thomas Keller, and Nigella Lawson, plus the Moosewood series. I think perhaps my biggest pet peeve is food snobbery, and indeed snobbery in general. I love trying new things so much that I rarely make the same dish twice.



Oh, a big thank you to all who have reviewed my stuff recently. I am currently without premium membership and unable to tell you so on an individual basis.

Favorite Foods:

I like curry, rare steak, vegetables, herbal and black teas (but not fruity), fresh herbs, lentils, frittata, mangoes, pomegranates, fresh gingerbread, satsumas, halloumi, stilton, som tam, peppermint ice cream, pumpkin, roasted everything, and fried pickles. My favorite places to eat in Chattanooga are Sweet Basil, and the Meeting Place.
My favorite dishes to cook tend to be very involved, but not very detailed- like baking bread, or making risotto or soup- anything with mindless kneading, chopping, or stirring.
