about me

I returned to Maine after five years in Paris, and now work from home as a graphic designer and artist.
Food for me is a vector of culture, an art form, an opportunity to paint with flavors. Far beyond mere sustenance, it's a language, a vehicle for expression.
I love to invent, create, and draw inspiration from my multicultural past and travels. I forage for alot of ingredients, grow some, use farmers markets, and as much as possible try to keep my foods "real".

Favorite Foods:

My favorite cuisine is persian: Torshi, fesenjoon, and kookoo especially. Salad is my go to comfort food, accompagnied by my grandmothers vinaigratte recipe.
When I cook, i compose and have a hard time following exact recipes: am therefore not much of a baker, especially because i'm wheat free and that entails special baking methods. I'm trying to keep track of amounts, in order to reproduce recipes!
